In an analytical essay, the writer examines a subject relative to its own terms, and explains the problem by studying the individual parts.

This assignment is a “think piece,” which is an essay that requires you to interact with a subject and develop your own interpretation based on that experience. After your initial analysis of a specific topic, you should synthesize that with other outside research to support your ideas. You should use a minimum of two other scholarly, peer-reviewed resources found in the APUS library. .Specifically for this assignment we will use an interactive map of westward expansion from 1860 to 1890. You can access it at this URL: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/akh10_int_expansion/ Once you have the map open, click on the boxes for Major Cities, Railroad Networks, Improved Agricultural Land, and States and Territories. At the bottom of the map, you will notice the decades 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1890. Click on each of these decades in succession and you will see the ways in which the country changed. The goal of this assignment is for you to interpret, synthesize, and analyze what you are seeing on the map. You will make a well-organized argument, support that through research, and then write a conclusion for your findings.Analysis is the process whereby the researcher separates something into its component parts. In an analytical essay, the writer examines a subject relative to its own terms, and explains the problem by studying the individual parts. In contrast, synthesis requires that the researcher examine individual unrelated parts in an effort to discover something new. A good essay will utilize both analysis and synthesis. Instead of examining the simple facts of a problem, the writer will go beyond the obvious, making connections between different pieces of evidence to discover something new.As an example, consider a modern map of the world illustrating the growth of the internet over the last thirty years. It demonstrates the new ways in which the world is connected by facilitating the spread of ideas through instantaneous communication. Access to much of the information that once required us to physically travel to a library is now accessible through a computer at home (or a mobile phone in your pocket). Social media has also given us the ability to discuss and debate ideas, not only with our friends and family, but with people we may have never met. We all have the power to disseminate knowledge around the globe within a matter of seconds.If you were writing a paper on this topic (this is an example only, as your paper will focus on the period from 1860 to 1890) you could analyze this larger topic by focusing on a specific aspect like use of the internet in online education. You might make the argument that the internet has enabled more non-traditional students to pursue a higher education. Your synthesis would include understanding the connections between your outside research and your argument.This essay should be at least three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12) and you must consult a minimum of two academically credible sources. Bibliographies and citations can be in MLA, APA, or Chicago format. If you are a history major, we strongly suggest that all citations adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style.

He has a sister ahead of him in the third grade who is enjoying school with numerous friends. The school principal has requested a meeting with you (an elementary school counselor), the district psychologist, and the parents to discuss Tommy’s classroom behavior as well as his level of academic school performance. The principal has received numerous complaints from Tommy’s kindergarten teacher over the past 2 months about Tommy’s inability to comply with basic classroom rules and expectations as well as his difficulty in performing expected academic tasks. An IEP (Individualized Education Plan) process has been initiated.During the IEP interview with the parents, his father presents as a very shy, soft-spoken man who often works from home as a computer software engineer; his mother works in an office as an administrative support specialist, and in contrast, appears bright and vivacious. At the meeting the principal asks the parents what they have experienced while raising Tommy. The parents state that “Tommy has always been a little different, but he is a good boy.” They also say that he did not start talking until he was about 2 years old, but Tommy’s father interrupts and says, “I didn’t start talking until I was almost 2 years old and I turned out ok!” The mother states that Tommy has trouble on “play-dates” with other children. She says that when at a neighborhood park with Tommy, when he is playing in the sandbox with other children, he doesn’t share toys, sometimes hits other children when he is angry, and also cries in a shrill, loud voice when he doesn’t get his way.Tommy’s mother also says that he doesn’t have any “real” friends and that she has stopped taking him on play dates because he is too difficult to manage. She also reports that he doesn’t always respond to her voice when she calls. She has to touch his shoulder and directly look him in the eyes before he responds. She also says that he needs a lot of coaching and supervision to get dressed in the morning. His hand also has to be held tightly when crossing the street because he sometimes darts out into the street.Tommy’s kindergarten teacher reports that there are major problems with Tommy’s behavior in her classroom. She states that during circle time she has to have Tommy sit right next to her. She says it is necessary for her to put her hand on his shoulder and speak to him firmly and loudly in order to keep him in the circle. She says that his attention often wanders, he doesn’t follow directions like other children, and he sometimes appears either not to understand her directions or does not seem to care about what she says. She reports that he has hit other children who casually bumped into him on the playground or tried to get him “to share” toys. She also states that when he has to change activities he cries and rocks back and forth for 10 to 20 minutes before he can go on to the next activity.
