OK…this is a super-duper modified essay because of snow days, delays, and feeling the need to bring this unit to a close before vacation. The essay on AJ should include the following to receive credit:


 * //How Democratic was Andrew Jackson? subtitle...Should we judge someone on their actions or their intentions?//**

1-Introduction of 3-5 sentences. Last sentence should be your thesis sentence (include quote from docs 1/2/3) 2-Paragraph(s) on whether the spoils system made the country more or less democratic (include quote from docs 6/7) or 2-Paragraph(s) on whether views/actions on Native Americans were democratic (include quote from docs 8/9/10/11) 3-Conclusion--within the conclusion you should answer whether or not we should judge Andrew Jackson by his intentions or his actions.

Each body paragraph should have: A-topic sentence B-background history on topic (if you don't know it...look it up) C-AJ’s actions D-Aj’s intentions E-Your conclusion

Each paragraph should have the above points, not necessarily one sentence per point. I would imagine that you might decide to break up the above points into two paragraphs, or have paragraphs of 7+ sentences.

Thesis = In this essay I am going to prove that (your opinion of essay question)...
