respond to the following two questions (each essay must be 3 full pages minimum, 4 pages maximum – Arial font 11, double-spaced):
Please submit both essays together as one single document (first essay followed by the second…number them please).
1. Compare and contrast the four different regions of colonies in British North America discussed in class (note: there are other ways of dividing the colonies into regions, the colonies are divided here for the purposes of this essay). While discussing the Chesapeake, New England, the Middle Colonies, and the South, remember to use specific examples of dates, events, people, etc. to support your general observations. In particular, refer to geography in terms of environment and climate, using specific places when possible to support your general observations.
2. Discuss in what ways the nature of the American Revolution changed between the outbreak of fighting at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775, and the formal end of the war in 1783. Remember to use specific examples of dates, events, people, etc. to support your general observations. Also be sure to refer to specific places to show the geographic aspects of each phase of the war.
When constructing your essays, keep the following in mind:
1. Begin both essays with a very short introduction, explaining the purpose of the essay (don’t go into detail…save that for the body of your essay).
2. Be sure to address each part of the question.
3. Support your general observations with specific examples of events, dates, people, places, etc.
4. Be sure to use the outlines for each essay as discussed in the recorded lectures.
5. As usual, be sure to proofread carefully.
6. Do not use any additional sources (just the textbook, recorded lectures, and any module videos) for this essay. And, do not use quotes from the textbook (unless the exact language is important to make your point). It is better to use your own words.
7. The rubric is included so you can see how the essay was graded.
8. Note that one criterion in the rubric asks you to make specific geographic references in your essays. When you name a place, try to give an indication of where it is in relation to a state (north, south, east, west) or to a geographical feature (near mountains, on a river, on the coast, etc.).
9. The due date for submission on the syllabus is the end of Module 3 (11/14). Hopefully you will submit well before then (Early submissions are strongly encouraged, and don’t forget the general due date policy as discussed in the Course Description Video).
10. Each essay should be 3 full-pages minimum, 4 full pages-maximum (that’s full pages of actual text). Arial font 11, double spaced.
