Topic: The English had plans for their new world colonies. But their old-world ideas clashed with New World realities. Write an essay exploring how the societies of colonial English America came to be different from what was envisioned by their creators. Be sure to cover all colonial regions, South, New England, and Middle Colonies, and the whole period from the beginning of the 17 century (1600’s) to the middle of the 18th century (1750 or so).
For sources:
1. Only use the Yawp Textbook (http://www.americanyawp.com/), PowerPoint attached and documents from the time found in the primary source section of each Yawp chapter.
2. DO NOT use any other outside sources.
3. Please follow the citation style listed below:
Cite powerpoints this way: The last name author of the powerpoint, the title of the powerpoint on blackboard in italics, and the title of the slide inside quotation marks. So for example: Hamm, Old and New Worlds Meet, “The Effects of Continental drift”
Cite text this way: American Yawp Text, Chapter 2, Section 3.
Cite the documents this way: American Yawp Primary Sources, Chapter 2, Document 3 For the Bradstreet poems: Bradstreet, “title of the poem”
Cite discussion posts this way: the author of post by last name, the date of the discussion, and the number of the thread. So for example: Demo, September 7, 2020, 13.
Instructions: Write an essay (of anywhere from 1900 to 2000 words) on the topic below.

Sources: Your essay should use both secondary sources (like the lectures, Yawp textbook, and your classmates’ discussion posts) and primary sources (documents from the time found in the primary source section of each Yawp chapter). Use only course materials, lecture notes, readings in American Yawp, and other course assigned websites. DO NOT use materials from outside the course. You should draw upon the material from class from August 24 through September 21 and the discussion of September 25.

Hints: In general, your essays should blend what you have learned from readings with your ideas. The papers should not just summarize the material you have read and heard but should draw upon on your reading and classmates’ discussion comments to make a point. All good essays have an argument and the materials in the essay should contribute to supporting that argument. You should pay close attention to the structure of your essay. Every paper should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction is especially important as it is the first thing the reader encounters. In your introduction, you should state the themes of your essay and summarize your conclusions. The body of your paper carries the burden of proving your point. You must provide evidence on which you base your conclusions, explaining, in your own words, how the evidence supports your conclusions. Copying a series of quotations from your sources fails to convey your meaning. You must explain how these quotations contribute to your point. To deter you from this common failing you are prohibited from using long quotes (over 30 words). No block quotes please. At the end of your paper, you should include a conclusion. At the very least it should be a summary paragraph that reviews your conclusions. If you can draw further implications from your ideas, here is a place to put them.
When to Cite and Plagiarism: In a paper when you quote something, you must use quotation marks and give a citation. Paraphrased or borrowed ideas from a source are to be identified by proper citations. Plagiarism is taking (which includes purchasing) the words and ideas of another and passing them off as one’s own work. So if you quote or take an idea you must cite to avoid that. Otherwise it is plagiarism. Plagiarism will result, at the minimum, in you failing the assignment. If, in the judgment of the instructor, the plagiarism is flagrant you shall be assigned an “E” for the course. In every case, violations of academic dishonesty where a penalty is imposed will also include the filing of a violation of academic integrity report.
Simple parenthetical citations will do just fine for our purposes in this assignment. If you have a quote or a paraphrase follow it up with a source in parenthesis ( ).
Cite powerpoints this way: The last name author of the powerpoint, the title of the powerpoint on blackboard in italics, and the title of the slide inside quotation marks. So for example: Hamm, Old and New Worlds Meet, “The Effects of Continental drift”
