The following fomat of questions is used for both discussion of the гeadings in class and how the paper is to be
written. Questions for in-class discussion of the readings and for the paper. All class discussions are сentered
on three questions. - What kind of document is it? And what does the reading contain? List the thoughts, sentiments, ideas the
document contain. The answer to this question is essentially a detailed summary of the content of the reading.
What are the main points the author is making, and especially, which American cultural ideas are being noted.
Do not include your comments in question 81. [9pts.] - What do you think about the contents of this document? Make a list of your reactions to these contents. How
would you evaluate these thoughts, sentiments, ideas? More important, are they helpful in giving you a
historical sense of American beliefs and ideals? (You might consider it/how the reading gives you insight on the
feeling or thinking of the writer or the еxperiences/times he describes. Or if you have understood a new detal
about the situation being described that you did not already know or imagine? Please note, that “valuable” or
“insightful” does not mean “theе moral of the story.”) End question #2 by saying which, if апy, American cuitural
ideas are implied?/9pts.] - 3. How do the cuitural ideas in this document a) relate to an event/policy/development discussed in either
Heffner’s text or the lectures; and b) explain which aspect of this historical context the reading illustrates. (Be
specific as to the historical events and cuitural ideas that this particular document/reading addresses.) This
question asks you to set the reading in the context of American cultural history.
