structure :

You will introduce your paper by introducing the question you seek to answer, as well as reasonable answers to the

question. Next, also in the introductory paragraph, you will state which answer to the question you believe is best

supported by the evidence. This statement will be your paper’s thesis statement.

The next section of the paper will situate the relevant text (or texts) in its (their) historical context. You will be

expected to research secondary sources and, from that research, provide historical background information that is

relevant to understanding the question being answered in your paper.

In the next section of the paper you will make your argument. That is, you will use evidence mainly from the

relevant text(s), and also from other research, to show that your answer is the most persuasive and that alternative

answers are not.

Finally, your paper will close with a concluding summation of your overall argument.
