Essay Outline

Rather than just diving right in and asking you to write an essay from scratch, on your first Long Essay you will fill out an outline document to help you grasp the essay writing process and learn how to structure an AP essay. You can see the outline document as a type of "training wheels". Much like when you first learned to ride a bike, training wheels help you get comfortable and confident for venturing out further on your own. At first, you will have to do the training wheels prior to writing the essays, but as you get more comfortable you no longer be required to complete them.

Here is the long essay question that you will need to answer:

How was the demand for labor met in the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Colonies, and the colonies of the Lower South? Consider the role of indentured servants and slaves in your answer.

It will be helpful to review the information presented on the Key Concepts page relating to the essay question (on content page and the Module Readings document.)
