Exam I African Diaspora
Directions: Read the prompt and answer in a persuasive essay. Break down the prompt into as many necessary questions as possible. The first question is usually the guiding question and you should build your thesis and intro around it. Each remaining question should have its own paragraph. Papers also have a conclusion paragraph.
Remember, papers are not graded as right or wrong, but by the strength of the argument. You must address the whole prompt and use all the articles noted in the prompt.
Prompt: Did the African Diaspora exist in the ancient world? In order to satisfactorily answer the question, you MUST explain Palmer’s definition of the African Diaspora (which is different than just a diaspora) and use the theses and arguments of the Ogunremi, Snowden, and Hunwick articles as evidence.
In addition to the directions above, please follow the directions below: t. All papers should have a thesis and an argument; a thesis is the well thought out answer to the prompt. You will revise your thesis several times while writing the paper. All papers should have an argument; in this case you are using each article to support your argument. Each article deserves to be discussed in a separate paragraph.
