A)In the first section of the letter, you will summarize your takeaways regarding the literary, film, and essay works discussed during the semester and the themes we explored. This section should be an original account in your voice, not a general summary or a transposition of the syllabus.

Find at least two (2) good, relevant quotes per source to support your analysis. Focus on close reading, not generalities (as in, convince your reader that you’ve processed and engaged with these materials). Find connections between the works and write connecting sentences to tie them all.
C)In the last section, you will write an “all in all” reflection on what you got from these discussed sources and the class.

ATLEAST ONE QOUTE MUST COME FROM THE TEXT BOOK

It has been just over 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre in Greenwood, Oklahoma, and for many years this tragic event was not discussed in the state’s curriculum. Now, it is a required component of Oklahoma’s history curriculum and has also taken on national and international historical significance. For example, HBO’s Watchmen includes scenes of the event and “Fire in Little Africa” is a hip-hop project commemorating Tulsa’s Greenwood neighborhood known as Black Wall Street.
In a three-page essay (roughly 750 words), please provide a brief overview of the Tulsa Race Massacre using the following instructions and prompts:
What else was going on during this time period? How do other social, cultural, political, or economic events of the era help us to understand the conditions that led to the Tulsa Race Massacre? 
What did you learn from your research? Offer one specific example.
What is the historical significance of the Tulsa Race Massacre?
Offer at least one specific example of reconciliation and healing.

Over the course of this wonderful semester, we have traced how a tiny offshoot of European colonial expansion evolved into a superpower post World War 2 founded on the proposition that government is of the people, by the people and for the people.  Analyze how at least 4 factors such as philosophical movements, democratic government, revolution, nationalism, timely leadership, labor (slavery and indentured servitude, industrial working class) war, imperialism (domestic and foreign), and progressive legislation brought about the United States.
You are not limited to the factors listed above for your paper. Nor do you have to write about every single one. It maybe your argument that republican virtue or gender played a significant role.
For example, if you are looking at timely leadership you may write about Martin Luther King jr., Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc. The same for progressive legislation such as the Constitution, the Reconstruction amendments, women’s suffrage, the New Deal, etc.
Paper must be 3-4 pages. 12-point font. Paper must have a TITLE (do not title paper- Final Paper) and a citations page with at least 4 quotes from the textbook. I recommend using the textbook for most of your quotes. 
DUE THE DAY OF THE FINAL EXAM -PRINTED OUT AND HANDED IN.
This was the prompt given to me by my professor. The Class is Development of the U.S. and its People. USSO for short.

Only use the source given and look at the sample essay provided.
