INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prepare you must complete the following readings:

· Identify and incorporate at least one outside source to support your discussion. In addition to the textbook, you may use any material outside of the textbook that is recommended in the Additional Reading section at the end of each chapter. You are also encouraged to do your own research and identify relevant sources. Please keep in mind that WIKIPEDIA is not an acceptable reference.
PREPARE AND SUBMIT:
Write a well-organized essay, a minimum of 700 words (but not limited to), including supporting details from the documents/textbook/other sources in which you analyze and discuss the material that has been assigned by addressing the following question:
Compare and contrast the distinct societies that developed in the Chesapeake area colonies, the Carolinas, the Puritan New England settlements, and the Mid-Atlantic colonies, identifying distinct similarities and differences between them, and discuss which factors contributed to the success and/or failure of each region.

Failure to do so constitutes Plagiarism, and the college has strict policies and penalties for failure to comply. Under the Resources, you will find links to sites that review how to format a paper or essay. I recommend that students use APA or Chicago Style to format their essays. Students should ask their instructor which format style they prefer to use.
