QUESTION 2

Brainstorm/scattershoot and list at least 10 concepts/detailed facts/historical evidence about concepts of citizenship, civics, and political rights of Americans from 1770-1850. Make sure that you provide a mixture of big picture concepts and specific detailed facts (not all one or the other).

QUESTION 3

Look at the lists you created in the first two questions and consider the prompt.  Identify three broad categories that you could develop in writing an essay over the prompt.  These will be the three key points of your thesis and each key point will then be developed more fully in its own paragraph in the body (rule of three analytical essay style).  Therefore, you should pick key concepts that you have the most evidence for and which most directly address the prompt.  Here is where concept mapping might come in handy.
