Q For this question, you may only use two resources, the textbook and this pdf of primary documents: Lowell Mills primary documents.pdf Download Lowell Mills primary documents.pdf Specifically on the above pdf, I want you to use one or two of the primary documents links at the bottom of this webpage. Using these resources, answer these questions: How did life for American women change from 1700 to 1850s in the United States? Although women were denied the right to vote, detail two ways in which women had civic engagement (in other words, without a vote, how did women have a political voice?) Was the Lowell factory system a dead-end or an opportunity for the women workers? Here are the basic rules of the discussion posts and how to score the most points for them. 1. Provide three posts to the discussion question. 2. One of the three must be your own answer to the question. I am expecting this answer to be a three to four paragraph essay. 3. The other two posts need to be in response to your fellow student's posts or response. I am expecting up to one, four to five sentence paragraph. 4. Student answers that have evidence in the form of short, analyzed, and cited quotes from the textbook or from a cited outside source, preferably both, will score higher than answers without evidence that reading or research was done to answer the question. 5. There are only two acceptable sources for information for this question, see above. The use of ANY other source is NOT acceptable. You will definitely lose points for using ANY outside source that is not from the above list. Since we are all using the same textbook, you can use this brief citation for this class (for example, Openstax, 343). Also, do not write "According to the textbook", or "In on page 234." That is just a way of filling up space. For other sources, a parenthetical citation can be used; leave full website citations for the end of the essay. 6. Your three total posts must be on three DIFFERENT days. Dropping all your posts on the last day is like blurting out all the answers right before the bell rings in a regular class....you come out all like "blblblalaladjdfglfadfg...." See what I mean?...not a pretty picture. Interacting with your fellow students means reading their posts and responding back in a thoughtful and academic manner. Backing your points up with examples, evidence, or citation always improves your performance. I check every single original answer for plagiarism. Every semester, I catch students engaging in this form of cheating. Don't try it as you WILL be punished for it. Plagiarism means using other people's work, without a citation and without putting things in your own words. This means the textbook as well. You can not copy things from other sources and claim them as your own. We have software that can determine if students are plagiarizing. I use it. 7. write in paragraphs. When supplying your own answer to the question, the one that is to be 3-4 paragraphs long, make sure it in paragraph form. Be sure to put spaces between your paragraphs. If I can not tell when one paragraph begins and another ends, you will lose points. One long paragraph, no matter how long and no matter how well written, is not an essay. Here are the major things you can lose points for: 1. Short, underdeveloped paragraphs 2. Not answering all parts of the question 3. A lack of evidence in each paragraph in your essay and your response post. Evidence means cited data or short, analyzed quotes, preferably from the textbook. 4. Missing the response posts or the essay 5. Posting everything on one or two days. 6. Using online sources that do not meet the requirements above 7. Bullshitting (this means making claims without having evidence behind....you know,, how half the shows on the History Channel operate.) These rules apply to ALL of the four required discussion questions. Special note about quotes. Violating these rules will result in a loss of minor points 1. Quotes make terrible topic sentences. Th first sentence of your paragraph should be where you are introducing the topic to the reader. It is not where you put your evidence, which are the quotes. 2. Quotes by themselves are dependent clauses. They need to be attached to an independent clauses. For example: "To be or not to be." That is a floating quote. "To be or not to be," said Willy S. That is not a floating quote. See the difference? 3. A lazy writer or student slaps down a quote without analysis. You must interpret the quote for the readers. Why is it important? Why do you introduce it? What do you hope readers understand about its significance. Other pet peeve to mention Use of apostrophes: They do NOT make words plural, with some rare exceptions. They also do not make years plural. The correct way to write a decade is 1770s, not 1770's. The correct way to write a century is 1700s, not 1700's.
