Students, who wish to be in A.P. U.S. History for the 2017-2018 school year, must read the following.....

[|Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin]


 * VERY IMPORTANT!!!! READ THIS FIRST!!!!: You are to create this assignment without looking at SparkNotes, or any other resource (including other students). The purpose of the assignment is to see how you can evaluate information and provide evidence to back up various claims. Therefore, evidence should only come from the electronic book alone. **


 * A WORD OF WARNING: **


 * Students will not be allowed ** to take A.P. U.S. History if they copy the work of another student, or take ideas found in another website or resource. **This paper is to be written individually and is not a group assignment or effort**. Also follow these guidelines:

1. When you use evidence, from the book, make sure to tell me where you found it in the eBook. How do you tell where it exists in the eBook??? At the end of the sentence, which you have written, place the Roman numeral section number found in the eBook table of contents at the end of the sentence.

2. Here's an example of how to reference things:

Benjamin Franklin recounted that he looked silly walking through the streets of Philadelphia with bread under each arm (III).

III is a reference to the section titled, "Arrival in Philadelphia." The period marks the end of the sentence.

3. Make sure you adhere to proper spelling and grammar when completing the assignment.

4. Email the assignment to the address listed below; the assignment must be submitted on time. If you do not complete the assignment, please inform the guidance office so that they can remove your name from the class list. I will also inform them of failure to complete the assignment, or another circumstance that would prohibit your participation in the course.

After reading the work, students are to write a three page assignment that addresses the following points.

1. How did Benjamin Franklin embrace traditional ideas and beliefs in his life? 2. How was Benjamin Franklin willing to embrace new ideas and concepts? 3.
