US History: Reforming American Society
Write a 2-3 page essay that compares the writers of the Transcendentalist movement (1850s) and the songwriters/performers of the 1960s. Drawing upon specific passages as evidence, identify similarities and differences between the two reform movements.
- Papers should be typed and double spaced.
- Times New Roman 12 or comparable.
- A “Works Cited” page is required (Writer’s INC. p 185)
- Include a copy of the song lyrics in an appendix.
Outline for the paper.
I. Introduce the time period/historical context of the paper (When, where, who?). Conclude this section with a hypothesis that you will prove (A secondary source can be used here).
II. Review the literature. Give a brief overview of the documents you will use to prove your thesis (Primary documents only).
III. Analysis. Make statements about your hypothesis using quotations and argument as evidence.
