This is a discussion board entry and NOT an essay. The teacher wants me to imagine writing an essay and base this
discussion entry off it. See the discussion topic and instructions below.
Topic to Discuss:
The rise of the “common man” in America from 1800 to 1840. Be sure to consider socio-economic and political factors.
After doing some brainstorming, decide upon the three key concepts that you would want to discuss in your imaginary essay
(DO NOT WRITE AN ESSAY). These three concepts would be listed in your thesis statement. Each of the concepts would then
have its own paragraph in the body of your imaginary essay.
In this post, I wanted you to list your key concepts (be clear and concise) and provide ONE piece of historical evidence
you would use in your analysis of this concept.
Your entry should look something like this:
CONCEPT 1: one sentence describing the concept
EVIDENCE 1: one piece of evidence you would use in your analysis of the concept with a brief explanation of how it
supports your concept (1-2 sentences ONLY)
CONCEPT 2: one sentence describing the concept
EVIDENCE 2: one piece of evidence you would use in your analysis of the concept with a brief explanation of how it
supports your concept (1-2 sentences ONLY)
CONCEPT 3: one sentence describing the concept
EVIDENCE 3: one piece of evidence you would use in your analysis of the concept with a brief explanation of how it
supports your concept (1-2 sentences ONLY)
