DIRECTIONS: You will write a five to six paragraph argument essay, no
longer than six pages double spaced. You will use one of the following
Causes of Conflict involving Native Americans.

A conflict can have many causes. To avoid and resolve conflicts, it

helps to understand these causes. You will develop a position in
which you explain the causes of the conflict.

Your Task

In a cohesive paper, you will:

 State a claim regarding the main cause of the conflict.

 Provide background on the conflict by describing at least three of the following:

 Who was involved in the conflict.
 What the conflict was.
 When the conflict took place.
 Where the conflict took place.

 Provide additional background on the causes of conflict by

explaining two or more factors that helped cause the conflict.

 Provide reasons for your claim, including one of the following:

 An analysis of how the conflict might not have occurred had one or
more of the main causal factors been absent.
 An evaluation of why at least one factor is more important than the
others.

 Provide an Antithesis with credible reasons against your claim.

 Provide a conclusion that counters the Antithesis and restates your main points
and your claim.

 Refer explicitly in the paper to three or more credible sources that provide
relevant information:
 Cite your sources when you draw information from them: for
instance, when you summarize, paraphrase, or quote, and when you
refer to facts, figures, and ideas.
 Provide complete publication information for each source in your
bibliography or list of works cited.
