Each prompt will have a separate folder on Blackboard that will feature pertinent readings. You do not need to conduct outside research in the library or online.

The goal is to write a cohesive response-not simply a succession of individual source analyses. Put the sources in conversation with one another to draw a larger conclusion about the topic.

In analyzing any source, keep the following in mind:
-Who wrote it, when, and where? If you can determine the authors age, race, gender, or any other aspects of their identity, how might these shape their viewpoint?

-Why do you think the author wrote the document? What was their motivation and their intended audience?

-What was going on in the country and world at the time this source was created? You should use the secondary sources or online textbook to inform your response.

-What do we learn about the time period from the source?

Some important points to consider:
-A good essay should have an argument that ties-together the writers main points

-A good introductory paragraph should establish the argument and lay out a road map indicating the papers structure and organization.

-Each paragraph should be structured around a main idea, clearly stated in a topic sentence.

-Paragraphs should proceed logically from one to the next, following a clear thematic or chronological order.

-While style will vary from student to student, the instructor expects final copies will be proof-read for typographical and grammatical errors

-To cite specific text from a source, borrowed words go inside quotes. You can follow each quote with a parenthetical citation giving the title of the source you used.

Example: Two samples of culture were sent to the New York Board of Health, (Typhoid Fever Outbreak Attributed to Street Paving).

-Students should refrain from writing quotes exceeding three lines. Students should aim for one to two quotes per paragraph. A good paper uses sources to support its argument; it does not simply string together long quotes.

-The instructor is willing to read rough drafts and address specific student concerns regarding writing.

– Try to avoid or limit the use of first person (I, me) as well as contractions (cant, wasnt).
