Reading+Notes+Guide

I will use tonight’s reading homework as a sort of “How to” when it comes to reading notes. __First rule of thumb is to write down every noun (person, place, or think which in this case means an **event**__). Second, the __phrases that are carved out on the side__ are also important.

So, a solid outline would look like this for pages 65-70:
 * Diverging Societies: (Think about explaining why they were diverging)
 * Immigration & Natural Increase (Where did they come from? Is there an important trend here)
 * **Pay attention to maps & graphs like the ones on pages 66-67
 * Indentured servitude (You should know the definition, so focus on the US History element: What were the realities of indentured servitude? How prevalent was indentured servitude in early colonial times?)
 * What was worse? Slavery or indentured servitude? Why?
 * Exceptional longevity in New England (why of course did they line longer? Think compare and contrast here for an essay question)
 * More balanced sex ration- now this has its own “carved out heading” but it can easily be included with the exceptional longevity notes
 * Midwives (Who were they and why important: outside of the explanation of a midwife, there is really nothing of extreme importance in here so you don’t have to write about the exact medicinal practices of midwives and doctors)
 * Women and Families in the Chesapeake (think about an essay asking about family life in the Chesapeake region—write down just enough to get a grasp of what family life was like: sex roles, health, food, trends, etc)
 * Revival of patriarchy (simply know what patriarchy is and why it was revived)

Things you **should** have hit on pages 53-63:
 * Society of Friends / Quakers / Beliefs
 * William Penn
 * Pennsylvania
 * Inner Light
 * General summary of imperial conflict
 * Slave revolts
 * Caribbean settlement roles to British North America
 * California (This and the western territories are much more important when we get to 1848)
 * James Oglethorpe
 * Georgia
 * Transformation of Georgia
 * Struggle for Land (Conflict and Accomodation)
 * Mercantilism
 * Navigation Acts
 * Sir Edmund Andros
 * Glorious Revolution
 * John Coode’s Rebellion
