HIST 100: Western Civilization - Pre-Modern Dr. Kristin Heineman TEXT ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT II The following information should be used in preparing your out-of-class writing assignment for this course. Requirements and topics appear below, along with some tips about writing history papers. Assignment Requirements and Deadlines Students are required to write one (1) paper, called a text analysis, based on assigned readings for this course. As noted on the syllabus, this assignment is worth 20% of your final grade in the class. If you already submitted Text Analysis 1, then you are not required to write Text Analysis 2. If you did not submit Text analysis 1, then you must submit Text analysis 2. If you submit both Text Analysis 1 and 2, then the lower of the two grades will be dropped. As noted on the syllabus Course Schedule, Text Analysis 1 was due on Sunday of Week 7. Text Analysis II will be due on the Sunday of Week 12. You may not submit Text Analysis 1 after the deadline has passed. The Text Analysis paper should be submitted online through Canvas by 11:59pm on the day it is due. If you would like detailed feedback and editing, please submit a hard copy in class the day it is due (this is not required). Students requesting an extension on the due date for the paper must present acceptable written documents of illness, emergency or University-sponsored events. You still have to provide this, even if we discussed it via email or verbally. The topics for Text Analysis II appear below. The format, grading criteria, lateness policy, and other instruction will be the same for both assignments./nFormat and Presentation Requirements: Your Text Analysis should meet the following requirements: 4 pages of text (i.e. 1,200-1,500 words), typewritten or word processed Double spaced with standard font (Times New Roman, size 12) Standard margins (1 inch top and bottom, left and right sides) A separate title page should include the following information: your name, HIST 100, Text Analysis II, some sort of fancy-schmancy title. Your paper will include an Introduction in which you will outline your argument in a thesis statement. Be sure to mention the author and the text you plan to analyze. Your thesis statement should NOT be in the form of a question - turn your questions into assertions. A thesis statement is generally the last sentence of your first paragraph. Each body paragraph (you will probably have at least 3-4) should start with a topic sentence (the main point of the paragraph) and be supported with direct evidence from the text either in "quotations" or summarized. Either way, the evidence must be cited (as noted below). Be sure to have AT LEAST ONE piece of evidence for each claim. Finish your paper with a conclusion. Don't add new information here, just summarize your main points.
