Title: “Transforming California: Three Dominant Changes from the 1860s to the Great Depression”

The Prompt:
In your view, what were the three dominate changes to California society from the 1860s through the Great Depression of the 1930s? Why did those changes occur and do you consider those changes beneficial or harmful to California society?
Your essay should have an introduction with a clear argument, a well-developed body with ample supporting evidence, a conclusion that provides some final analysis, and be about seven paragraphs in length (paragraphs should be at least five sentences in length but often longer). Your argument is your brief answer to the question while the body of the essay is used to provide detailed historical examples to support your argument. Although analysis of the material should be woven into the body of your essay, the conclusion is where you will be able to show that you have thought about the material in a critical and analytical way (rather than simply regurgitating information). Also, remember that any information included in your essay should be pertinent to answering the question asked of you.
