HIST 205 Term Paper Assignment

HIST 205 Term Paper

 

For your term paper, you will complete a writing prompt in a five to six-page paper. Your work must demonstrate a basic understanding of US women’s history, the ability to use and analyze primary sources, and create a well-reasoned argument with evidence. As this is a cumulative paper, your analysis must cover the period from the Colonial Period to the mid-to-late twentieth century.

 

You must use four to five primary sources to answer the question. You may use any of the primary sources we read for this class (which can be found in the syllabus). You must also use AT LEAST two sources from people of color.

 

Please remember to be specific about these changes and their application to different groups. As you craft your answer, please consider how issues of class, race, gender-identity, sexuality, citizenship, region, ethnicity, environment, culture, or political climate influenced women’s experiences and the development of women’s rights/movement. Avoid generalizations that suggest complete uniformity.

 

 

Writing Prompt:

How has the concept of “women’s rights” AND/OR the women’s movement[s] changed and developed over time within the United States?

 

Is there a single, universal women’s experience in American history? If so, should that be the focus of this course? If not, should this course even exist? Please sure to use mainly historical examples to answer this question. You may refer to the present, but remember that your focus should primarily be on history. 

 

 

 

Requirements for the Final Paper:

1. 1. Typed, 12pt font, double spaced, Times New Roman
   2. Heading (only name and date) and title

 

General guidelines:

1. 1. Use topic sentences: essentially a “mini-thesis” statement at the beginning of a body paragraph.

1. Example: “Education plays a huge role in lowering crime rates.”
2. For more examples, see https://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-topic-sentences.html

1. 1. History papers are in past tense (worked rather than work)
   2. Avoid first person (I, you, we, etc…)
   3. Do not use contractions (don’t, won’t, can’t, etc…)
   4. Avoid passive voice

1. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth (Passive)
2. John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln (Active)

• Hint: if you can add “by zombies” after a verb and it makes sense, you are using passive voice

1. 1. Do not plagiarize. This is stealing intellectual property of another person.
   2. Quotations should be limited and never more than two or three sentences. A good rule of thumb is to only quote if you could not say it better yourself. If you want to quote, please remember to correctly cite it.
   3. Avoid generalizations and be specific in your evidence

1. Generalization: “In the Civil War, lots of people died.”
2. More specific: “During the Civil, over six hundred thousand people died or at least two percent of the American population.”
