Description

Directions:

· Begin with an introduction that explains the topic of the essay and presents a thesis statement. A strong thesis statement presents a claim and directly addresses the essay prompt.

 · Next, provide supporting evidence to prove your thesis statement. Provide convincing detail. Explain the relevant historical context for each historical example / evidence presented in support of your thesis. If the essay prompt asks for three examples, address each example in a thorough paragraph.

 · Finally, end with a conclusion that provides a restatement of your thesis (this is different than re-writing your introductory thesis statement), emphasizes key evidence, and offers an inspiring, strong final thought / point.

Topics:

B. Citing at least three examples, explain how your understanding of US History changed as a result of completing History 330.

 C. Which three eras most significantly transformed the lives of American women? Consider how race, class, and gender expectations influenced women’s experience in each era.

 D. Which three women most significantly influenced women’s lives in US History? Select three examples of women studied this semester in History 330.
