Use your working thesis as a rough version of your answer to the question, and

organize your body paragraphs around this working thesis. Use your claims and

analyses to create body paragraphs that do the following:

Body paragraph 1

Write a claim that describes economic gain during early colonization and that

considers the following questions:

1. What trends, both proximate and long-term, contributed to changes in eco-
   nomic gain?


2. What turning points contributed to these changes?


3. Overall, was there more change or more continuity between first settlements
   and later practices?

Your response to these questions will be the evidence that proves the claim at the

beginning of the paragraph.

Body paragraph 2

Write a claim that describes religious fervor during early colonization and that

considers the following questions:

1. What trends, both proximate and long-term, contributed to changes in reli-
   gious fervor?


2. Were these trends similar to those that influenced economic gain?


3. What turning points contributed to this change?


4. Were these turning points similar to those that contributed to economic
   gain?


5. Overall, was there more change or more continuity between first settlements
   and later practices?

Your response to these questions will be the evidence that proves the claim at the

beginning of the paragraph.
