Native American Experience Assessment

Your assessment of understanding the Native American Experience is a thesis-driven essay. We have explored what it means to be a Native American through excerpts, videos, short stories, articles, and primary texts. Using these sources, compose an essay of at least five paragraphs that essentially answers this question:

• What is the Native American experience and how has it been shaped and defined (given their history and authors’ exploration of the topic)?

Reminders:

• Thesis: Specific, provable
• Voice/Word Choice: Formal, academic
• Fluency: Smooth transitions and natural integration of quotes
• Variety of Sources: You have many resources at your disposal...Use them and be specific!
• Citation: MLA with a Works Cited page

In addition, Ms. Hopkins has put together a libguide with some additional resources: articles about the topic, websites, etc. Please look through this guide and scan some articles to aid in your essay.

Monday and Tuesday we will have technology...immediately share a Google Doc with BOTH Mrs. Mireault and Mr. Bujold. We will be providing constant feedback as you write.
