use narrative from page 308-311 for Lindsey Faucette (see attached file)
Find at least one additional scholarly article, book, or book chapter that will supplement your essay. I do not expect you to find scholarly sources that are directly about your chosen person. You are to find sourcing that speaks to some aspect of the stories the person you chose tells. Your final paper must make use of your selected narrative, your textbook, and at least one additional scholarly source.
Construct a strong thesis statement and introduction (you may revisit the conclusion once your full essay is complete. This helps ensure that your introduction sets up the paper you wrote.)
Write a 2-3 page reflective essay that tells me about your selected narrator (person being interviewed) and their reflections on enslavement. Consider the following when constructing your cohesive thoughts.
Name, birthdate, gender, state of residence, etc.
Describe enslavement through the eyes of your narrator with attention paid to how your narrator remembers or describes persons, places, and things in their environment.
Is there anything discussed that surprises you or goes against what you’ve believed about the institution of slavery? If so, please detail those things.
Tell me about your research and analytical process. You do not have to include these points. These serve as suggestions:
Why did you select this narrator?
What do you know or wish to know about the oral history project or the interviewing process? How might you find out? Where might you look?
What do you make of the way the narrative is written? Do you think the narrative would be stronger/more compelling if the interview questions were included? Why or why not?
Were there any topics that you felt compelled to research (look-up) while reading or reflecting on your chosen narrator’s story?
Are there questions you might’ve asked the narrator that don’t seem to have been asked in the preserved narrative?
How did you use your 8 weeks to get this assignment completed (time management) and do you believe that your method was successful? How might you do things differently if given the opportunity? (I will add this in later)
Construct a strong conclusion for your paper.
Technical Requirements
Your 2-3 page typed essay must be double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font. You do not need to include a bibliography. You must have at least 2-3 pages of content. You must correctly cite any sources used within your essay. You must use either FOOTNOTES or ENDNOTES that are formatted using endnotes or footnotes per Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (Links to an external site.). I will deduct points if you do not use footnotes or endnotes as these will be your citations and not including them is plagiarism.
