6. From These Beginnings reading As we read a historical essay, we need to decipher the main topics of the article. What were the main topics discussed by author Paige Smith in “From These Beginnings?” What position was she taking on the each of the topics? For the following activity, you will be given one of the topics and generate 3 analytical statements and provide evidence for each of your statements.

7. Analysis + Evidence= Goodness! Analysis: * making an argument Evidence: * proving an argument For example: * The Dark Knight Rises had an incomprehensible plot. (Analysis) * For example, a financially bankrupt Bruce Wayne just “showed up” in Gotham hours after being stuck in a hole in an Indian prison halfway around the world. (Evidence)

8. Thesis Statement: What is it? for most student work, it's a one- or two- sentence statement that explicitly outlines the purpose or point of your paper. It is generally a complex, compound sentence

9. What does it do? it should point toward the development or course of argument the reader can expect your argument to take

10. What it determines The thesis sentence must control the entire argument. Your thesis sentence determines what you are required to say in a paper. It also determines what you cannot say. Every paragraph in your paper exists in order to support your thesis. Accordingly, if one of your paragraphs seems irrelevant to your thesis you have two choices: get rid of the paragraph, or rewrite your thesis. Write a thesis statement for Paige Smith’s essay. What do you think the thesis statement is in Paige Smith’s essay?

11. Examining the Southern Colonies After initial contact with Native Americans, colonists began to pour onto the shores of the eastern seaboard of North America. What emerged was not a singular nation of people but a diverse collection of settlers arriving for a variety of reasons (Remember: Page Smith?). Today you are going to be responsible for investigating a specific group of settlers as we examine southern colonies and the West Indies as its trade was so closely tied to these colonies. In groups of 4-5 you will select from: Virginia, Maryland, Carolinas, the West Indies and Georgia. Fill out the chart (as much as the textbook allows you to). Later today and tomorrow, you will be sharing your colony with your group as they gather the information on additional charts, we will discuss them as a class, and Friday we will be quizzing over the southern colonies.
