Paper assignment: DUE FRIDAY 4 November
In no less than 500 words, discuss the attitude of the early English settlers along the east coast, making sure you are specific as to physical locations. As well, note their objectives and reference interactions between the two peoples. Don't forget to include the responses from the indiginous peoples. Make sure you suppport your statments with specific textual evidence. Cite these with the author's surname in parenthesis after the quote. You must use all three texts: Pilgrims of Plimouth, History of Virginia and The Westover Manuscripts. Try to interweave the text with your own sentences. Remember: you need a solid thesis in your introduction. Moreover, within each paragraph, include a thesis and prove it with textual evidence. Don't forget an analysis statement within each paragraph.
BUILD AN OUTLINE. Write out your introduction and send it along for me to check, if you wish. An easy way to write this is divide up the three documents into three paragraphs. What point do you want to make in each and what information within the text supports your point? And, of course, what is the larger meaning of the point you are trying to make?
As a conclusion (and remember that you will not say in conclusion) synthesize the information- check the corroboration chart- and answer a question that you have posed.
