STYLE AND PRESENTATION:
Paper Organization Your paper must include an introduction, several distinct body paragraphs,
and a conclusion. Your introduction should not begin with broad, overly general statements, but
instead should introduce the specific time, place, and topic you are writing about. Do not assume
that your reader knows anything about the history you are describing. Your introduction should
also include a) a thesis statement that interprets your primary sources within the historical context,
reader).
Your body paragraphs should each be organized around a main idea and should offer evidence to
support that main idea. Be sure that your paragraphs each have a topic sentence. Check to be sure
that all of the evidence you offer in the paragraph relates to and supports that topic sentence. Your
conclusion should summarize your ideas and suggest connections to course themes.

Getting Help on the Assignment Unless you happen to live with a history professor or graduate
student, you probably won’t be able to get good help at home. Your cousin, uncle, mom, or best
friend might be able to tell you whether you have spelling and typographical errors. They may be
able to help you pinpoint places where your organization could be improved.
Remember that a good history paper does not necessarily look like a good paper for an English,
International Relations, Philosophy, or Psychology class. Every discipline has its own
conventions. To be successful with your writing assignments, you should familiarize yourself with
what history papers are like. For further descriptions of how to approach assignments like this, see
Mary Lynn Rampolla, A Pocket Guide to Writing in History, excerpts from Chapter 4 (Modules
folder).

ESSAYS
Your essays should normally be chosen from the lists below. Essays should be
, should be footnoted and have an appropriate bibliography. My expectation is that you
will use the readings provided assigned and recommended as a basis for your
bibliography. Your essay will be marked according to the Grading Scale detailed in your
syllabus. Pay attention to the rubric: you will notice that to achieve higher marks you will
have to read beyond the literature we have provided, so familiari e yourself with the library!
Essays require that you interpret primary source evidence in historical context, drawing from the
assigned course readings. All of your papers must:
closely analyze and describe primary sources using specifics and details;
use scholarly secondary source texts for evidence about the historical context;
select evidence to prove a thesis;
draw conclusions beyond those that are immediately obvious from the evidence;
write a paper that has a clear thesis, evidence organized into logical paragraphs, and a
conclusion;
use correctly formatted footnote citations.
Essays should also:
Consider different perspectives on a problem or controversy related to Modern British
History and attempt to reach a resolution about it. (Global Engagement)
Appreciate that British history cannot be understood in isolation from people and events
from around the world. (Global Awareness)
Recognize that history is comprised of multiple stories, representing diverse experiences
and perspectives (Global Perspective)
Construct an evidence-based argument that integrates multiple perspectives on an issue in
Modern British History. (Global Perspective)
