Sample response--do not copy! from my teacher How to: 1) Start by breaking it down: the relationship of natives/pilgrims was both good and bad, so need to address both sides of that relationship. 2) Organize in such a way as to make your transitions easy; for this, I recommend sequential order from the original text. 3) Introduction includes title-author-genre and background info. Respond to the two parts of the relationship. 4) Finally, target the 2nd part of the response. 5) Citing: recall that you’ll include the paragraph number in ( ) w/ a period AFTER the citation.
In William Bradford’s “Of Plymouth Plantation,” Bradford uses a first-hand account to tell of the challenges the Pilgrims faced when they first arrived in America. He details various items such as the hard winter, the severe illnesses, and lack of food and shelter as they settled in the new land. One element he spent time sharing was how the Pilgrims established relations with the Native Americans.
Bradford first mentions the “savage barbarians” in paragraph three, when he says the natives “were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise.” Elsewhere, he also mentioned that the Indians came “skulking” about, standing off a bit and watching with indifference, and would even come into the growing towns to steal tools when the Pilgrims went to meals (par. 6).
However, over time this relationship improved. Samoset, a native who spoke broken English, eventually befriended them and assisted by identifying “the people here, of their names, number and strength, of their situation and distance from this place, and who was chief amongst them” (par. 5). Additionally, he introduced the Pilgrims to Squanto, who spoke better English and who was instrumental in creating a treaty between the two cultures which lasted twenty-four years. In the final analysis, Squanto and Samoset, according to Bradford, were hugely helpful in assisting the Pilgrims with all the things they needed to know in order to survive: growing crops, harvesting, and establishing strong relations with the natives in the area.

Adapt the speech you delivered in lesson 2 to an audience of professionals, teachers, and parents. the audience expects a more formal delivery. your listeners also expect you to use media such as images and audio to make your speech more convincing and easier to understand. your assignment should include the following elements: -at least four sources to back up your ideas -media elements to illustrate your ideas -changes to both the style and content of the speech to make it more appropriate to the audience -citations that follow mla guidelines as you revise your presentation, research and cite at least four sources. at least two of these sources must provide supporting evidence, such as charts and graphs or quotes from newspapers or other credible sources. the other two sources can provide material to grab the audience's attention — for example, photos that your audience visualize what you're talking about or music that sets the mood. you can also create original images, but these will not count as sources. here are some types of media that you may use to either show evidence or move the audience: quotes tables, charts, and graphs images video audio (including music) mix up the types of media you use so that no medium is used more than twice. take care that all your sources contribute to your speech in an obvious way. they should either back up what you're saying or make your ideas easier for your audience to understand logically or emotionally. avoid visual aids that are off topic or confusing. ask yourself these questions as you revise: am i still fulfilling the requirements of the speech i gave in lesson 2? is my speech still about a theme in franklin roosevelt's four freedoms speech? do i connect that theme to my own life and to a current issue? are my sources credible and relevant? will they convince an audience of parents, teachers, and professionals? do my media elements enhance my speech? do they set the mood, explain something difficult, or offer convincing proof? do i avoid media elements that are more distracting than ? did i cite my sources according to mla guidelines? did i check my works-cited page against sample works-cited pages to make sure it's correct?
