RESPONSE PAPER
Modern U.S. History Survey
READ: Global Passages "Settler Societies and Indigenous Peoples" (Schaller 566) "Black, Red, and White Wars" by Jack Drake (posted to D2L)
ASSIGNMENT: In a clear, concise, and well-constructed seven (7) paragraph essay please respond to the following:
In the context of "Sealer Societies and Indigenous Peoples" please analyze the treatment of Australian Aboriginals at the hands of Anglo settlers and the colonial Australian government.
Compare the treatment of aboriginals to that of the American Indian. How might such historical relationships effect race relations and government policy in contemporary Australia and America?
- The content of the essay is largely up to you; however, you should not use any sources outside of "Settler Societies" and "Black, Red, and White Wars."
- Your ideas are important but this is not a work of opinion but of reasoned thought given your assigned readings.
- You do not need a works cited page or bibliography.
- To notate information quoted or paraphrased use parenthetical notation with author's last name and page number. For example, (Schaller, 632) would indicate that information came from page 632 of your textbook, while (Drake, 51) would indicate information from page 51 of Drake's article.
Your paper should be set up as follows:
Double spaced, indent paragraphs and do not add additional spacing between paragraphs.
One inch margins
12 point Times New Roman.
Be certain your name and page numbers are in the header or footer on each page. Microsoft Word will accomplish this task easily.
