I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

This week’s Discussion Board assignment has two parts. Part 1 should be ~500-700 words in length and should be completed no later than 5pm on Thursday of Week 3. Part 2 should be ~100-150 words in length per response post and must be posted by the final deadline of 11:59pm on Saturday of Week 3.

Part 1: For this week, you will view two documentaries and read one autobiographical essay and one scholarly essay that recount the Indian boarding school experiment in the United States and explain its intergenerational consequences. Building on the argumentative techniques that you read about in The Norton Field Guide to Writing, compose a 500-700 word argument in response to the following question:

What were the consequences of the Indian boarding school experiment for those who attended parochial and/or government-run schools? How and in what way did this cultural experiment affect both individuals and tribal culture? Please cite from this week’s readings and documentaries as evidence to support your case.

Structure:

Your primary post should include an introduction that introduces the topic and ends with a clearly worded, 1-2 sentence thesis statement. Each supporting paragraph (there should be at least 3) should begin with a strong topic sentence and should incorporate evidence, including direct quotations from the short stories as needed to support your argument. Direct quotations should be incorporated using the quotation sandwich method and proper MLA in-text citations. The post should also contain a strong conclusion
