document

A full-sentence outline helps you create the structure of your paper and the topic sentences of your paragraphs at the same time. Think of this document as your blueprint for the final paper. By approaching the outline in this way, you can more easily move paragraphs around and edit the flow of the paper before you write the full paper. This makes editing for the flow of information easier.

For this activity, create a full-sentence outline for your final paper. Each sentence will act as a topic sentence for a new paragraph in your paper. The entire paper should be outlined using this method. This will allow your instructor to provide feedback to you about the information flow in your paper.

Use APA 6th ed. formatting, Times New Roman, 12-point font, with one inch margins. Include a title page for your assignment. —

  Why does Margaret Walker call this book “Jubilee”?

Write a 5-pages essay, double spaced. Consider the following questions in your writing:

·         Why does Margaret Walker call this book “Jubilee“?

·         What can we learn about slavery from Vyry’s childhood?

·         What does it mean to be a young girl in Vyry’s world? How does her experience compare to other young girls at the time?

·         What expectations did men have of women in slavery?

·         How does Vyry respond to the great historical changes happening around her?

·         How helpful is this book to an understanding of American history?

Your paper should follow the conventions of history papers, using endnotes or footnotes. Refer to instructions in Kate Turabian, A Manual for the Writing of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations or the Chicago Manual of Style. Both are available in the library and on the internet.

The composition of any paper must be entirely your own work. If the exact words of another are used, even to a limited degree, quotation marks must be used and a documentary reference (a note) given. If information or ideas are taken from another work, although not a direct quotation, you must give credit in the notes as to the source of the information. Failure to give such credit is plagiarism and is equivalent to cheating on an examination. Submission of a paper which is copied from another work or written by someone other than the student, or which contains fictitious notes, will result in failure of the course. Keep all notes and drafts of papers until the final paper has been returned with a grade or until the course is over. I may ask you to show and discuss with me your notes and various drafts of your papers.
