Use Of 3 Different Themes And 3 Different Subjects

Use Of 3 Different Themes And 3 Different Subjects Or Topicstheme Titl

Use of 3 different themes and 3 different subjects or topics. Theme titles with name of theme and corresponding theme number from the LIST OF THEMES. Vetting of sources within the essay. Proper notation of and use of quoted materials to support content argument. Proper formatting of citations for all quoted materials. Works Cited with proper sections listing Primary Documents and Secondary Sources. Full bibliographic information provided in Works Cited. Name and class information provided. For each theme you discuss, you need to quote your textbook OR an outside secondary scholarly source of your choosing once and ONE primary document found either in your ebook or from an outside source. (See further details about your sources below). Use a different primary document for each theme and history you write on. You must include a properly formatted Works Cited at the end. These assignments will help you learn to see history in terms of these themes. For each Themed Essay Assignment, you will write a minimum 750-word entry (CONTENT ONLY - Works Cited DOES NOT count towards minimum word count) about 3 historical topics that you can extrapolate from the subjects we have studied in that week in which the Themed Essay is assigned. EACH ENTRY PARAGRAPH WRITTEN ON A THEME MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 250 WORDS. So the math here is easy = 3 different theme discussions of 250 word minimum each yields a total minimum word count of 750 words AND 3 separate themes X 3 Assignments = 9 historical themes used in the semester. I expect to see original analysis, interpretation and rhetorical content.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires composing a three-part thematic essay, with each section analyzing a distinct historical subject rooted in specific themes. The chosen themes should correspond to a pre-approved list, with each theme clearly identified by its name and number. For each theme, students must incorporate citations from both secondary scholarly sources—such as textbooks or academic articles—and primary documents, which could be found in course e-books or external sources. Importantly, each theme must utilize a unique primary document to ensure diversity of evidence and support critical analysis.

The essay must be comprehensive, spanning at least 750 words, with a minimum of 250 words dedicated to each theme discussion. Students are expected to demonstrate original analysis, interpretive insights, and persuasive rhetorical language in their writing. Proper vetting, notation, and citation of sources are mandatory; all quotations must be accurately attributed, formatted consistently, and integrated seamlessly into the content. Furthermore, all references must be compiled in a properly formatted Works Cited section, which includes full bibliographic details for primary and secondary sources and makes clear distinctions between them.

This structured approach aims to develop students' ability to contextualize historical events through thematic lenses, fostering critical thinking and source evaluation skills. The assignment promotes an understanding of the interconnectedness of themes and subjects across different periods, emphasizing the importance of primary source analysis alongside scholarly research for a nuanced interpretation of history.
