Write an essay that introduces your subject to an audience with little or no knowledge of it. In your introduction, write a definition claim that characterizes your subject. In the remaining paragraphs, support this claim with specific evidence drawn from a variety of scholarly sources. Identify these sources through attributive phrases and parenthetical citations. Try to supply your reader with the essential details related to your subject:

Who: Names of leaders and discussions of their actions
What: Definitions of relevant terms and names of important things, such as laws, inventions, buildings, or works of art
When: Descriptions of notable events, along with the dates of their occurrences
Where: Names of places where significant events occurred
Why: Analysis of the reasons that things happened as they did
How: Discussion of trends and mechanisms

Like the Dictionary of Literary Biography and other subject encyclopedias, All American is intended to be a thorough, credible reference source. Your goal is to provide the kind of information you would want to find in such a reference book. For a sample page, see Colonial America: Journalism.
