Premium Writing

A draft is just that, a rough sketch of what you want to say in your final paper. It is an opportunity to receive feedback from your instructor on your work, but it is also an opportunity for you to get your thoughts down on paper, move away from them, come back with fresh eyes and revise. A draft need not be polished or perfect – it should be rough and that’s okay. The biggest mistake you can make with a draft is getting stuck with writer’s block because you think the draft isn’t good enough. Drafts aren’t supposed to be perfect – they are supposed to help you think about your work, and let others give you some ideas on how to improve.

Review the Instructions for the final project so you know what the end goal of the research paper will require. You should also read the Social Justice Handout.
Your final historical research paper should include an introduction with a clear thesis statement, at least five paragraphs (probably more) that address topics that support your claims, and a strong conclusion that summarizes your argument. Attach your final bibliography (not annotated) at the end and include a cover page (in all formats) with your name, date, and the title of the paper. The title should be more than the topic, and should give the reader a sense of what the paper is about. Some examples:
Paul Revere: Statesman and Craftsman
The Salem Witch Trials: Fear and Superstition on the Frontier
The Frontier: A Meeting of Cultures and Ambitions
Make sure each paragraph contains at least one quote or other supporting evidence from your research, and that you use all your sources – primary and secondary (including the scholarly journal article). Primary sources do provide the best evidence, and a variety of sources provide event better evidence than a reliance on one or two sources. Always extrapolate quotations. Follow quotes with your own analysis or comments and explain how that evidence supports your argument.
Quotations should be no more than two – three lines long. People tend to skip over longer quotes. All quotes must be cited in Chicago/Turabian style. Remember quotations also require a page number if available in all the formats. Even though quotations are important as support, the majority of your paper (roughly 85 percent) should by your own words of analysis.
You may use illustrations or photographs as sources, but these should not be included in the body of the paper. If you decide that you must include these images, they should be attached as appendices and those pages do not count toward your page length or word count.
Your completed essay must be 6-8 pages in length, double-spaced, written using 12-point font, 1″ margins, and Chicago/Turabian style citations.
One final reminder – Drafts need not be perfect, as you will edit and revise it. It is better to turn something in for feedback, than to turn nothing in and have no information on how to improve the paper late.

Grammar, punctuation, and spelling all count in this 750-word essay, about three pages, which uses MLA documentation to objectively answer one of four different questions. (Essays without citations to the assigned texts or videos earn unsatisfactory grades.) In the column on the left of this screen, can be found MLA-Brush Up and Two Sample Student Essays from another class to give you an idea of the way that essays should look. Your essay should be divided into paragraphs made up of an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Be sure to give your essay an original title—not Marx Essay and not Midterm Essay—centered above the introductory paragraph, and be sure to indent every new ¶ with a “tab.” You must choose ONE of the four different topics below.

Paragraph ¶1) The introduction explains briefly who the authors are and what they were known for. The introductory paragraph italicizes the titles of books and ends with a thesis statement that answers ONE of the four following questions.

How do Kropotkin and Thomas Malthus view struggle for existence differently?

How do Lamarck and Darwin explain the modification of species differently?

Does Oscar Wilde oppose altruism for the same reason as Andrew Carnegie?

Does Adam Smith see labor specialization the same way as Karl Marx?

Please answer ONLY ONE of these questions–with a yes or a no–in a thesis statement that you position at the end of an introductory paragraph. If you cite from one of the videos we watched, make sure to use timings (minute:second) to cite passages from it. Remember to include after each essay a list of Works Cited–all you have to do is copy and paste the citation of video, given on screen, or the citation of book or article from the Weekly Course Work. (There are located under the week of the Weekly Course Work in which they were presented.) Please use Times New Roman font, 12 pt size, in creating a document with margins and paragraphs. Do not rewrite the question at the beginning of your answer

¶Paragraphs 2 through 4, roughly) The body paragraphs of essay should fall between 100-200 words in length. Counting the introduction and the conclusion, the essay should contain somewhere between 5 and 8 body paragraphs, each of which is built around a different example that relates to the thesis. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence (and never a quotation) that indicates the main idea of the paragraph. Each body paragraph supports a single main idea by using material and examples from the text in the form of quotation and/or paraphrase. IMPORTANT: Make sure to cite the page numbers (or timings) of passages in the ASSIGNED text (or video) that you refer to.

¶Last) The conclusion does not introduce new examples. Instead, it recapitulates what has already been said and puts the essay’s thesis in a broader context. It is the best place for making personal comments, if you like. After the conclusion of the essay, bibliographic information about the texts, either printed and/or audiovisual, should be given as the Work Cited, which can be copied and pasted from the WEEKLY COURSE WORK. Do not use Wikipedia, SparksNotes, or Gradesaver. These are not college-level secondary sources.

Remember to use Times New Roman font (12pt size) and to double-space between lines. Check that the essay’s length is roughly 800 words–about three pages–and print the word count to the end of the essay last after the Work Cited. Essays submitted late incur a ten-point penalty and are not accepted more than three days after the due date.

Genocide is the systematic elimination of a group of people by any means that decreased the number in the group significantly (approximately by one million or more). Methods of extermination include but are not limited to mass shootings, chemical warfare, bacterial warfare, kidnapping of children from their homes, and sterilization processes. Dehumanizing of the group is necessary to get public support and participation before the genocide. Chancellor Williams (1987) posits that Aristotle excluded the African from the human group as being without reason, therefore, it was necessary to conquer and enslave the African (p. 141). One means of exclusion from humans is to discredit the victim(s) religion and label the group as infidels, and pagans. Using the concept of God and what God wants is a tool for justifying mass murder and conquering for exploitation. Divide and conquer tactics are effective tools and are used repeatedly to cause confusion and disorient the intended victims. Divide and conquer creates a situation where some victims support the perpetrator and others become marginalized to the point of political helplessness. When divide and conquer is in full effect the perpetrator is in its most powerful position to begin the physical elimination of the group. Any kind of perceived threat to the dominant culture whether real or imagined has in some cases been the deciding factor.

Google the United Nations definition of Genocide. Read the eight categories of factors that the–Office Of The UN Special Adviser On The Prevention Of Genocide (OSAPG)–uses as a guideline to detect the degree or probability of Genocide.

CHALK, F., & JONASSOHN, K. (1990). The Definition of Genocide.

How is it similar or different than the U.N.’s definition. In a four page double spaced paper (APA format) identify themes that are common in both and any differences perceived in the U.N.’s definition and Chalk & Jonassohn (1990). Share with your reading audience recognizable issues that are directly related with Genocide.

Make a clear thesis statement that proposes an argument of an aspect of the artwork of john constables piece – “Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows”.

Outline how to organize it:
an introduction stating the problem/issue and thesis
the relevant background information about the circumstances of the artist and the socio-cultural and political context within which they have functioned to produce the work
the work described as to its significant characteristics in view of the stated thesis
a critical discussion of aspects of the work, with arguments anchored in visual and/or textual evidence, in view of the stated thesis
a conclusion, stating the extent of the thesis’s validity or the need for its reconsideration.

Sources:
***** I have written 4 sources( – a 5th that’s a maybe source) as a start**
Use 7 informative sources that reference some aspect of the painting – whether it relates to the artist himself or the painting. (Must reference this specific painting- ‘Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows’)
^sources do not count if there is just – an instance of illustration in a journal/magazine or an exhibition notice in a paper.

First watch the video, “How We Got The Bible”. After watching the video, please answer the following two questions (answers should be between 200-300 words long):

1. Growing up, what was your relationship with the Bible? Did you own one? If so, who gave it to you? What translation was it? Did you read it? Was it read in your home?

2. After watching the video, briefly share your confidence level for our Biblical canon. Do you believe the 66 books in the Protestant Bible are “inspired” by God? Why/Why not? Do you believe the Bible speaks/is relevant to us today? Why/why not?
