history

1. Each essay should be a minimum of five paragraphs and 500 words, but be sure to thoroughly address the prompt and provide specific examples. For example, you may discuss the historical context generally, but you must provide clear examples from the lecture and the reading.

Treat your response as an essay. Remember to include a thesis with specific examples to prove your claim. Good responses will include the following characteristics:

· A thesis statement that clearly expresses your position.

· Consistent commentary on the significance of your examples in proving your claim and situating your arguments within the context of this course.

· A satisfying conclusion. This is not a mere summary of your points.

Discuss the causes of the “Great Depression.” How did the FDR administration respond to this era? How did his administration change the relationship between citizens and the government? Make sure to discuss at least three specific programs FDR passed as part of the “New Deal.”

2. Pick 3 of these 10 terms and define them in 30-50 word answers for each term. Number each of your answers from 1-3. Each term you define is worth five points. Your task is to define the terms with context, meaning an explanation that provides the significance of the term to US history. Your answer should be written in your own words, and not be taken directly from the PowerPoint or reading.
