 Identify the major change over time during each time period.

Express this change

over time in a clear, concise thesis statement. Thesis statements should always take a
position and include categories (in this case at least three).

 For each of your categories, write a clear, concise sentence that expresses the major
change over time for that category AND directly supports your thesis statement (topic
sentence).

 List ten bits of important specific factual information (in descending order of
importance) under each category that could be used to support both your topic
sentence and your thesis statement. For five bits of specific factual information in
each category, write out interpretative commentary that both identifies the term and
shows how and why the information supports your thesis in a single sentence.
