Instruction
Essays: Two, ~12% of course grade each.
This class will be discovery-oriented, which means that we wont know exactly what its going
to be about until we get into the discovery process. Our first focus will be 1915, an interesting
year. Well start by seeing what resources the course texts offer for beginning to understand
what was going on in the world in 1915, then branch out into some aspect of 1915 that youll
get curious about, research in depth, and write a paper on. In the second half of the term youll
divide up into research teams focused on 1815, 1715, 1615, or 1515, then write a paper about
your year that relates to your first paper somehow. The final paper will put the first two
together and transform them by developing the connection, whatever it is. You should think
about the semester as developing a research expertise through three stages.
orld History 2
The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about history as a laboratory of human
behavior and interaction. To succeed you will need to develop and improve your abilities to
identify and make the most of resources; gather, sift, categorize, and prioritize information; and
distinguish between fact and interpretation in order to make an informed and compelling
analysis. Much of your grade will depend on how well you work independently within general
guidelines; how effectively you adopt and adapt course instruction to your own work; how
widely you seek relevant information within and outside the course texts; how thoughtfully you
focus your essays; and how effectively you relate your specific focus to more general contexts,
issues and perspectives.
The first paper will start to be due after about a month. It will be your midterm grade. We will
workshop it in class.
The second paper will start to be due after about two months. We will workshop it in class.

Essay guide: A good historical essays purpose is to advance our understanding of history by means of accurate description and logical analysis. Taking sides is beside the point for this application we want to know what was going on, how, and why in as much depth as possible. 1. Introduction and thesis statement The first paragraph introduces your topic and previews your findings, including a thesis if that's the form your analysis takes. Start by setting the scene in time and place and introducing a World History 6 general topic area. Then focus on a specific question, issue, or puzzle about that topic. Mention what sort of evidence youll be using to support your analysis and to establish your credibility. End up with a statement of your findings: the exact point, interpretation, or perspective you will be developing in the paper. This is what you figured out from your research, and should be a direct statement of what you want every reader to take away from the paper. Example (by Dyke): Traditional family structures in China tended to reflect the general Confucian emphasis on harmony, order and hierarchy. Power and protection flowed downwards from men to women and elders to youngers, while obedience and service flowed upwards. As a consequence, family elders could expect to receive the respect and support of the younger generations, an arrangement that assured harmony and order throughout the extended family. [
