In this assignment, you consider whether or not, or to what extent, your source corroborates (or provides evidence for) ideas that most historians agree on, or why it doesn’t. You know the length of your essay, and you know that the average paragraph is 150-200 words. Assuming that you leave aside about 300 words for the introduction and the conclusion, that leaves 1700 words, you could imagine having 8-10 paragraphs in your essay. Be aware of the difference between a thesis and an argument (refer to tutorial week 9) Use carefully constructed paragraphs to lead your reader through your argument and your evidence. Have an introduction that states your thesis and a conclusion that shows that you have proven it.Check these list as you write this essay.whether what you have highlighted is a topic sentence. (does it actually answer the thesis? if not, check the last sentence you wrote for the paragraph: maybe that would be a good topic sentence)whether each paragraph contains just one idea, which is proven by evidence (some of you will have three or four random ideas stuck together).whether there are at least 2 footnotes for each paragraph (otherwise, what’s your evidence?)whether some paragraphs are much longer or shorter than others (see point 2 – if it’s very short, maybe you have only a half-formed idea. If it’s too long, you may have too many things happening in the paragraph)whether whatever you wrote in the conclusion might in fact make a very good introduction. Swap them around. See what happens.
