In lectures 6-8 and in your Out of Many Book, we have read and studied about the English colonies in the Americas. After reading your lectures and after viewing the series of School House Rock on the formation of the United States, how true or false do you think they are? In other words, what do you think is true but what do you also think is false? How do you think kids may have interpreted, as they saw them during commercial breaks during their Saturday morning cartoons? Do you think these sorts of sources are valid for this country (consider the times and messages seen on videos) or as a teaching tool for a certain audience?
Again, pack essay up with examples from lectures and book. Cite book pages and lectures if need be. (For example: …Natives innovation and resources such as corn, potatoes, pumpkins, and the turkey were vital for the Europeans who participated in the Columbian Exchange [Lecture 3])
***This is an essay so make sure you follow all essential rules on properly writing one (Introduction, thesis statement, conclusion etc.) and make sure it flows, meaning, answer questions within your essays body, and especially substantiate your claims using lectures and book. ***
