Write a 500 word essay based on one of the writing prompts below, citing the Hine & Faragher text at least 5 times. Your citation should come from a broad range of pages within Hine & Faragher, not merely one or two pages near each other.
As you write, think in terms of cause and effect, explaining why things happened as they did. Why did people do what they did? Make an argument and back it up with evidence. You may use the primary sources to bolster your essay. Just be sure that at least 5 of your citations come from a broad range of pages from Hine & Faragher. Citation: Use of evidence from Hine & Faragher is worth up to 40% of the score. Citation can be simple parenthetical citations. I simply need to be able to find what you are citing. For example, the following provide the textbook’s author and the page number. This is sufficient:
If you are citing outside sources that I have not assigned, please provide a link at the bottom of the page, along with a title that matches the citation. And cite only credible websites. For a quick reference to determining site credibility, see:
If you wish to explore the US-Dakota War, which is covered only briefly in our textbook, you are welcome to use the book I translated. It is an open access book and is available for free here: Skarstein, The War with the Sioux (The Digital Press @ UND, 2015).
Always quote any words that are taken verbatim (word for word) from Hine & Faragher or anyone else in order to prevent plagiarism. Citations go within the essay immediately after the sentence they support. For example, I might say:
This is a formal essay. Formality means that you should write in the third person. You may use first person for the Primary Source Essay, but the Textbook Essay is more formal affair. Spell words out completely so that there are no contractions. For example, write “would not” rather than “wouldn’t.” Use proper grammar, and avoid informal terms such as “cool” or “crazy.” Remember:
