The Changing Tides Of The Republican Party During Reconstruction, Nicholas Panson

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

I wrote the following essay throughout the semester in my ASI 120 course in multiple stages. My reading of Eric Foner’s A Short History of Reconstruction helped me generate my topic of interest and contextualize my historiographical argument. My instructor assigned the class reading responses to Foner’s historiography, which exercised my skills in writing explanatory summaries and academic responses. I next drafted my formal topic proposal to serve as the basis of my descriptive argument, the first paragraph of my introduction. I gathered a collection of eight historiographical sources and summarized each of them, while drawing upon the skills I …

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

My writing process for this assignment was quite extensive as a Historiography is not a simple task. I started this assignment by gathering my sources.

After collecting my sources, I created a bibliography in Chicago style format which I submitted to y instructor for evaluation.

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

During the Spring of 2019, I completed this paper as part of my coursework for ASI 120.

The Legacy Of American Terrorism: Lynching In America During The Reconstruction Period, Grace E. Gibson

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

This historiography was a semester long project beginning in Spring of 2019. Because the Reconstruction Era of the United States was briefly skimmed over in my previous history classes in high school, much of my knowledge of the subject was brand new from the very beginning of my research. For background on the Reconstruction Period, I read Eric Foner's A Short History of Reconstruction. After completing online modules provided by my instructor, I learned how to properly find scholarly sources through the University of Dayton library and JSTOR. It was through these means that I was able to find …

Naps Are Not Fake Snooze, Jerry Zezima

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

If there is one thing I have learned in my new career as a babysitter, aside from the lamentable fact that my grandchildren are more mature than I am, it's that napping is very important to both kids and geezers. I found this out recently during a weeklong stay in which I babysat infant twins Zoe and Quinn and beat them at their own game by sleeping on the job.

How can I tell you? What would be an appropriate way to state what must be said without being ridiculed. I suppose it's best to just to come to the point. Well, okay. I am emotionally involved with a … zucchini plant. Oh it's not the sordid matter you imagine. Nope! As a matter of fact, it is an extremely healthy attachment.
