Essay: Social and Cultural Tensions

Today you will outline and begin writing a draft for an essay involving one of the Social and Cultural Tensions of this era.  The final essay (typed or written very neatly) is due Friday, but the complete outline is due by tomorrow.

Choose a topic from the list below:

• Compare and Contrast the views of Religious Fundamentalism and Evolution and how they affected society in the 1920's.
• Compare and Contrast opinions about Immigration in the 1920's and how those views affected society.
• Compare and Contrast opinions about Prohibition in the 1920's and the affects it had on society.

Outline your 5 paragraph essay with good topic sentences for each of your paragraphs.  Make sure the first paragraph is a strong paragraph which engages the reader and sets up the essay. 

Use your textbook as a reference!  There may be other chapters that deal with your issue as well, so check your Index.

Utilize a second source (see front table) to support your essay.

Include at least one Primary Source.

For homework, find at least one other source to reference for your essay.

Remember to cite your sources!
