LEQ Exercise
Share working thesis statements and SFI
Sample Prompt: Compare and contrast the goals of the Spanish and English North American colonies between 1500 and 1750.
Thesis: The economic goals of both the Spanish and English colonies reflected the mercantilist goals of their monarchs. However, they each had unique religious purposes based upon the background of their settlers. Therefore, while the approach of the Spanish conquistadores was geared toward the conversion of American Indians, British settlers seeking religious refuge often sought to insulate themselves to freely practice their religion.
Paragraph 1: Similarities between economic goals
Paragraph 2: Spanish religious emphasis
Paragraph 3: English religious emphasis
- Are you addressing both comparison and contrast?
- Did you make generalizations instead of listing specific events/characteristics?
- Does your thesis provide organizational categories?
- Is each piece of evidence relevant to the prompt and within the time frame?
- Start with a broad idea that leads into the time frame of the prompt.
- What was going on 20 years before the time frame?
- What was going on 20 years after the time frame?
- Examine your list of SFI and place into categories based on your thesis. You may need to add a few more.
- What pattern do they show? Comparison or contrast?
- Try to make a generalization that aligns with the thesis and allows each SFI to fit.
