It would make sense to have 3-4 body paragraphs, in addition to an introduction and conclusion. Maybe a paragraph on overall European goals and then three more addressing each of the colonial structures(econ., political, socio-cultural) and their impact on African societies. Just a suggestion. There are other ways to organize this as well, as long as you discuss goals, structures, and impact in each of the three areas. Either way, you must build a strong topic sentence that sums up your argument for each paragraph and then add the evidence and examples (voices!) to support that argument. Always think about how each of those paragraphs support your larger thesis (from the introduction). What is the thread that will allow you to tie it all together? You can’t do it all. Identify the most prominent colonial structures (Boahen will help with that) and then tie them directly into a few examples of their impact on Africans. Utilize your primary sources to bring your stories to life and give them more weight. Avoid long quotes; paraphrase where possible.

ESSAY PROMPT

Utilizing the relevant primary documents and secondary information from the films and other readings provided, discuss and analyze 1) the economic, political, and social structures of colonialism, 2) how they met European goals, and 3) the impact of those colonial structures on African societies. Be sure to include the primary sources and video from Mod. 4.3 above, especially the role that culture and education played in the colonial mission.

To support your arguments, also be sure to provide specific evidence and examples from all sources and particularly from the primary documents, including those mentioned within the Boahen and Gilbert & Reynolds texts where relevant.
