The word requirement is at least a 1,000 words. Your goal for the Final Exam Ess

    The word requirement is at least a 1,000 words.
    Your goal for the Final Exam Essay is to identify and analyze a larger pattern or process of U.S. History, and to explain how that pattern/process changed or continued over the comprehensive timeline studied in this course.
    By “larger pattern or process,” we mean a theme, but for history it’s crucial to think beyond just a topic. We must consider the development and evolution of a theme over time.
    You will use Farewell to Manzanar, and other assigned readings of your choice, as the evidence that supports your conclusion about the pattern/process you chose to evaluate.
