To express how well you are retaining and analyzing the information and ideas that are presented in the assigned readings and class lectures, you will be completing two Analytical Essays (3-5 full pages each). To garner the highest possible score on each of these Analytical Essays, you must draft a clear thesis statement in the introduction to each of your Analytical Essays, and you must substantiate that thesis by referencing and analyzing specific information and ideas that are covered in the class readings, lectures, and/or media presentations. In other words, it will not be enough to simply type, “I think that….” You will have to denote specific details from the lessons and explicitly cite the book pages, speeches, documentaries, and/or other sources you will be using to argue why your thesis is correct. You will need to cite your sources in compliance with the Kate Turabian/Chicago Manual style of citation. (See pages 11-12 of the syllabus.) For each Analytical Essay, you must cite at least 4 in-class sources (at least 2 of which must be firsthand account primary sources). In addition to the class textbook, in-class sources include secondary sources like the PowerPoint lectures and documentaries as well as the firsthand account primary sources that I place in the Blackboard classroom. You may only use and cite sources from outside of Blackboard if those sources contradict or significantly add to the information presented in the in-class sources. And, such outside sources must be used in addition to (and not replacing) the required in-class sources. (See syllabus pages 9-14 for the General Tips for Writing College-Level Essays and the Analytical Essay Evaluation Rubric that I use when grading your written responses.)
For this first of two Analytical Essays, draft a 3-5 full paged response to the following prompt:
Consider the conditions black Americans were facing from the 1890s through 1920. Then, analyze Booker T. Washington’s approach to racial uplift among black Americans. Viewing his approach in the context of the circumstances black Americans were facing during the Nadir, what were the merits and drawbacks of Booker T. Washington’s approach?
Remember, you are only supposed to use the primary and secondary source materials that are provided for you through The Struggle For Freedom and the assigned and supplementary readings and media within the Blackboard classroom. Moreover, you must accurately cite any any all sources you use to write this essay.
