*Format, grammar, punctuation, and spelling count.* *double-space* *follow the criteria on your handout*
**Ensure each point (including your thesis) is fully explained. Specific details will result in a stronger paper.**
Thesis examples:

Despite historical inaccuracies in Pocahontas, Disney's film illustrates the brutality of colonialism, and the stereotypes we have today that were initiated hundreds of years ago still cause conflict.

By comparing Disney's version of Pocahontas with historical fact, it is clear that stereotypes present in the seventeenth century are still apparent today.

Example comparison + citing primary source + significance:

In Disney’s version, Powhatan is portrayed for most of the film as wise and gentle. John Smith’s recording of Powhatan’s speech shows that he and his people were “willing to give” the colonists what they wanted if they asked in a friendly manner (Powhatan, 1609). On the other hand, in this same speech, Powhatan threatens the Europeans with violence, promising that if they didn’t “take away [their] guns and swords” they would “die in the same manner” (Powhatan, 1609). In the film, Powhatan calls on surrounding tribes to wage war with the colonists. Therefore, both the historical and Disney versions of the story portray greed and violence, teaching audiences the consequences of colonialism and prejudice.

--> Write a well-argued response to the following topic:
Using evidence from the text, identify the theme of Thomas Mann's "Disillusionment"
- theme, thesis statements, 4 quotations (introduced, integrated, cited, explained), transitions, conclusion.
Example theme and thesis: 
(indent) Reality often falls short of our expectations. In "Disillusionment", Mann expresses the general disappointment with life that mankind experiences.
Example transition:
In the story, the narrator listened to the disillusioned life story of a man who seemingly has no age. Over the course of this one-sided conversation, the man describes the disappointment one experiences from life.
Quotation Integration example:
To provide the narrator with context for his attitude, the man explains that his religious upbringing initiated his tendency to see the world in polarities of "good and evil" (738). The man's extremist attitude creates his disappointment as there are no neutral or average scenarios for him.
*Remember to analyze in present tense; change with square brackets if necessary*
Example:
For the man, "life consist[s] utterly" of words that stir the imagination and set one up for disappointment (738).
--> changed from "consisted"
*Analyze in present tense. *Double-Space* *Transitional sentences to introduce and summarize examples. *Transitional words/phrases when providing numerous examples (such as "Additionally," "Furthermore," "As Well,")

A. Define the following (answer: who, what, where, when, why, how + how did/does this effect Canada/the formation of Canada?) HOMEWORK CHECK TOMORROW
- Seven Years' War (1756-1763)
Example definition -->The Seven Years' War determined who controlled North America. The French call it "The Conquest" because New France officially became a British Colony. British loyalists began to move from the overcrowded Thirteen Colonies into Quebec with hopes of buying cheap land and gaining political power. Under English law, Catholics were prevented from holding office or positions of authority. It was also illegal to be a Catholic, which mean that the newly conquered French people were all breaking English law (consider this in reference to the Indian Act of 1876, which served the same purpose for this newly "conquered" people). Approximately 65,000 Francophones and 600 Anglophones occupied New France, which became the property of England after the Treaty of Paris 1763.
