Spring Formal Paper How to presentation
1. Keyed Notes Changes from the fall paper Each time I check notes I will be looking for ten notes. You determine which sources they come from. Which sources you read and what order you take notes on them is up to you. Notes should be taken on binder paper, but must be formatted appropriately Please include a cover page to your notes listing the sources you have used and the key for each Notes from the book should include a page number
List all sources used and the letter used for each here. This list will vary depending on the sources used A. Textbook List of Sources B. Hoover Crisis of Free Men
Herbert H. Hoover Crisis to Free Men at the Republican National Convention, June 10, 1936 Read the document and identify the three main criticisms that Hoover makes of the New Deal. Highlight the section where the criticism is made and summarize each criticism in a brief statement. B1 I have given about four years to research into the New Deal, trying to determine what its ultimate objectives were, what sort of a system it is imposing on the country.... In Central Europe the march of Socialist or Fascist dictatorships and their destruction of liberty did not set out with guns and armies. Dictators began their ascent to the seats of power through the elections provided by liberal institutions. Their weapons were promise and hate. They offered the mirage of Utopia to those in distress. They flung the poison of class hatred.... Once seated in office, the first demand of these European despotisms was for power and "actions. Legislatures were told they "must delegate their authorities.... The powers demanded are always the same pattern. They all adopt Planned Economy. They regimented industry and agriculture. They put the government into business. They engaged in gigantic government expenditures. They created vast organizations of spoils henchmen and subsidized dependents. They corrupted currency and credit. They drugged the thinking of the people with propaganda at the people's expense.
Key Note A1 B1 The number of people unemployed in the US dropped by over 2 million people between 1933 and 1938 (517) Hoover claims FDR offered people false hope and that his programs fostered class warfare The number indicates the note number for that source The letter indicates the source
2. The formal outline Changes from the fall You will complete it in either written or word processed form - there is no template. It will be done in sections, rather than all at once (however, the sections must flow together). Use the format described below
Section 1 Begin with a topic sentence that indicates that the Great Depression had a tremendous impact on the American people Establish the effects you will be discussing Under each effect, include two keyed notes that point to passages from your research that demonstrate that effect I will ask to see your keyed notes when I check your outlines
TS: Description of first effect Keep in mind - you should choose effects that connect to the other two parts of the paper Description of second effect Description of third effect
