Title: “Exploring the Evolution of American Politics: A Comparison of Colonial Regions and the Rise of the Republican Party”
Short essay (25 points): Compare and contrast the three major colonial regions—the Chesapeake, New England, and the middle colonies— that comprised Britain’s North American empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Essays must focus on at least three relevant similarities and/or differences related to settlement patterns and population growth, social characteristics, politics, economic development, or religion.
Long essay (45 points): Discuss the evolution of American politics from the early republic, beginning in the 1790s, to the mid-1850s and the formation of Republican Party. Examine the rise of key political parties, ideas, issues, and policies in the nation’s early politics, paying close attention to the causes of ongoing disagreement that led to political change during this period
Tips for scoring well on the essays:
● Begin the essay with a thesis that outlines an argument in response to the statements posed in the
prompt.
● Devote the body of the essay to advancing the thesis.
● Provide context for claims made in the essay. Discuss specific historical conditions that led to an event
or that were crucial in encouraging the process of historical change.
● Beware of unsupported generalizations. Use evidence throughout the essay to enhance the quality of
analysis and interpretation.
● Make sure the response develops logically and that attention s given to chronological development.
● Demonstrate change over time. Do not cluster the essay in a single time period. You cannot show how
change occurs, for example, if you write only about political development in the 1790s.
● Demonstrate cause and effect. Show an understanding of how change occurs or why a particular event
is significant.
● Most Important: Do not plagiarize or attempt to use AI software to complete the essay
responses. All essays should be written in your own words and will be scanned by Turnitin for evidence of plagiarism or AI. Violations of this policy will automatically result in a 0 for the final exam and, possibly, for the course. -

Links to an external site. (Make sure to review this tutorial before you begin recording.)
Minimum of 4 scholarly sources (from Weeks 5 & 6)

Your PowerPoint presentation is due this week.

Instructions
The following are the best practices for creating your speech presentation:
Title Slide: Include the title, audience (who you prepared the presentation for: school or institution), the presenter who prepared and narrated, and the date.
Attention-Getter: Give the audience a reason to pay attention. Make them want to listen to your speech.
Thesis: Clearly state the purpose of your presentation
(On this slide, establish the tone of the presentation and include any questions you think your audience might have about your topic – questions you will answer during your presentation).
Body of the Presentation (multiple slides): Include the information you found during your research and organize it in a visually pleasing manner.
Use some type of division like levels of headers or titles.
Use words and phrases to clarify key points.
Provide researched evidence for each point.
Cite your evidence, quotes, and statistics within your presentation using
in-text citations ( ) on the slides as well as full reference citations on the
last slide.
Include images to add visual appeal to the slides.
Summary and Conclusion: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your outline or presentation. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the thesis statement of the outline and main objective of the presentation. End with a final strong statement regarding the intent of the presentation.
References: Use the APA citation format. The illustrations should be included with your resources. APA tutorials are available in the Chamberlain University library. Keep in mind the following:
At least 4 authoritative, outside scholarly sources are required from Week 6 outline. (Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable.)
Appropriate citations within the presentation are required on the last slide. Just copy and paste this from the last page of your outline – the References page. References should be in APA format.
Each resource should be entirely double spaced.
All entries must use hanging indents – the first line is flush left, and all the rest are indented.
All Chamberlain University policies are in effect including the plagiarism policy.
Additional Hints
Use a minimum of 5 visual aids to further clarify and support the written part of your presentation. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts. If a slide appears boring, then strongly consider adding a visual. It is the blend of text and images that make the slides engaging for the audience.
Animation and video clips should not be used for this speech. YouTube is not allowed.
Do not type out text onto the slide and then read it during your presentation. Remember, you are the teacher, so teach, don’t read!
