Homework
The number one thing that students do wrong in these essays is over-generalize. Be very clear and very explicit. Do not tell me, for example, that the lives of women changed in the 20th century because "they got more freedoms." That will not receive a passing grade. Instead, you should talk about things like the 19th amendment or the specific things feminism did for women.
A. How did the lives of African Americans change over the course of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries? Detail at least 4 specific examples and outline the evolution. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument. [HINT: YOU SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY.. that is History 1301 and happened before 1877]
B. How did the lives of women change over the course of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries? Please detail at least 4 specific examples and outline the evolution. Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.

Be specific in your response using evidence from your textbook, primary source readings, lectures, videos to support your argument.
