Happy last day of the quarter! Today we continued talking about Sectionalism, how the North and the South began to grow about before the Civil War. With a buddy class members read through primary sources to find information about the North and the South in the following categories: geography, economy, society, transportation, and population. Students were assigned an essay which will compare the North and the South during Antebellum. Don't stress about writing we will go through the process in baby steps! Today the class was assigned the first step-- Introductory paragraph. This paragraph must include a hook, enticing readers to keep reading and a thesis, stating what the paper will address.
If you missed class-- The following link has all of the information we looked at in class comparing the North and South in each of the categories listed above.

Homework: Introductory Paragraph to North v. South essay. Must include a hook (convince people your paper is worth their time! Like the smell of Abercrombie, enticing customers to enter their store.) and a thesis (tell your audience what you will address in your essay)
**Remember: Historical essays NEVER use the first person. DO NOT use "I," "me," or "you."
