PAPER DUE (July 7, 2009)
====In a three-page paper discuss five major points or insights you acquired from reading the letters in Kammen and support each insight with a quotation, or a paraphrase of the quotation, from the letters. Plan to briefly present your points in the July 7 breakout session.====

//"...Reading "private correspondence" would offer teachers a different take on the creation of the Constitution and allow for some personal reaction and demonstration of historical habits of mind. Berkin and Adair are background reading that I believe will help teachers, but [it is not necessarily] required to quote from these authors because it would be difficult to integrate them in the assignment... of course, teachers can write more than three pages, if they wish."// - Peter Gibbon.

 ==**GENERAL COMMENTS REGARDING TAH PAPERS ****FOR JULY 7, 2009 **==  There have been several concerns over the next paper due July 7, 2009. Since many of my comments regarding the last paper are not germane to this paper, let me hopefully make it easier for everyone by qualifying my previous comments to fit this assignment. **__ GENERAL GUIDELINES: __** **THESIS:** An overriding thesis would appear difficult with this assignment. However, making connections with five major points or insights is worth the effort. A distinguishing paper would make these connections with an introduction and conclusion. Having said this, the content of the paper regarding your five choices and support for each will be the main concern for grading purposes.


 * QUOTATIONS:** Use quotations to support your thesis. If not quotations, then paraphrase. Be sure to reference your citations or paraphrasing with footnotes. Include a bibliography.
 * FOOTNOTES: **Use the MLA system unless Kammen is your only source, then give the page number in parentheses. You may use a personal pronoun in writing this paper.

If you have additional concerns, please email me and I’ll get back to you. (I will be away until July 1st, but I have access to email and will make an effort to get back to you before then.)
