Harriet Jacobs wrote extensively about life both on and off the plantation. Read Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and answer the prompt below in a 2-3 page paper. A good essay combines what you read in the primary source with outside sources as well as the material you have already learned.
Prompt- Which features of plantation life, and of slavery in general, affected the stability of slaves families?
Tips
Use size 12 font, double-spaced.
Avoid contractions (couldnt, couldve, etc.). Just write the full two words. Contractions make your paper look sloppy.
Avoid first-person (us, you, etc.). Again, it just looks unprofessional.
Do not use slang except in a quotation. History papers need to have formal language.
Try not to use long quotations in your paper. I want to know what YOU think in your own words.
Cite any specific information and especially quotations with something like (Jacobs, 9) at the end of a sentence. If using an online source, consult a formatting guide so you can put the URL into footnotes or endnotes.
You must use complete sentences.
Before submitting your paper, read it out loud. By doing so, you can detect errors in your writing.
Also, run everything through a spellchecker and grammar checker.
USE YOUR OWN WORK. I had to talk to some of you about plagiarism and it was not fun for anybody involved.
