Essay formats--*REVISED*

Good morning, I hope that everyone is preparing for final unit exam of the fall semester. Please don't forget to prepare for IDs! Okay, here's what I am expecting on the essays:

Essay #1: 4 causes of the Civil War
Very straightforward essay. I am expecting either a 5 paragraph essay for this question or a 6 paragraph essay. If you wish to combine two of the causes of the Civil War into one paragraph that's fine, however, make sure you have a smooth transition between the two causes. **PLEASE DO NOT EXCEED A 6 PARAGRAPH ESSAY!** NO MINI-PARAGRAPHS FOR ANY OF THE ESSAY QUESTIONS.

Essay #2: Achievements and successes of Reconstruction **(REVISED)**
I want a 5 paragraph essay for this question! Here's one way to answser this question:iyour three body paragraphs, you can put one acheivement and one failure of Reconstruction. Do this for 3 body paragraphs and you will have 3 achievements and 3 failures of Reconstruction. Because there is so much you can write about this question, I want to help you narrow your focus a bit. HOWEVER, YOU MAY DO YOUR OWN FORMAT!! Just make sure you ANSWER THE QUESTION! Assess the achievments and failures of Reconstruction. If you feel that they're more failures than successes, then address that in your essay.

Essay #3: White encroachment upon the lives of the Plains Indians
This essay is very straightforward. Five paragraph essay is the max for this question. A total of three encroachments should be discussed in this essay. So, each of your three body paragraphs should discuss an encroachment and how the Plains Indians responded.

**IF YOU ARE COMING TO SEE ME IN PERSON FOR ESSAY HELP, BRING VERY THOROUGH OUTLINES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN OUTLINE FOR A QUESTION I WILL NOT HELP YOU WITH THAT QUESTION(S).
