In a well crafted essay answer one of the following prompts: Q. #1: How do the founding principles of transcendentalism translate to or inform modern America? -OR- Q. #2: How does oppression challenge the founding principles and development of America? Remember to set up either response as a 5 paragraph essay. Remember to have a clearly defined thesis statement at the END of the introduction paragraph. Remember to use transitions between ideas. Remember to cite evidence. Remember not to OVER quote. Remember to analyze or talk about the quote in relation to why you cited it and wrote it down as an example in the first place. In general, more analysis…less quote. Remember I will be running every essay through a plagiarism checker.
