I will expect your responses to be in a formal essay format with introductory and body paragraphs. In order to receive full credit, this post needs to meet the following standards:
It needs to have an introductory paragraph that describes the main points of the body paragraphs. The introduction should end with a succinct statement directly answering the question.
Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence. A topic sentence explains what the body paragraph is going to prove. The job of the rest of the paragraph is to supply evidence supporting the argument presented in the topic sentence. The topic sentence of each paragraph is a bit like a sub-argument that supports the central argument. Indeed, if you put all the topic sentences of the paper together as a single paragraph, that paragraph should look something like the introductory paragraph where the paper stated briefly what arguments would be explored in the body of the paper.
Each body paragraph should draw upon the reading assignment for evidence. Using direct quotations from the text is a very effective way to use the reading assignment as evidence. Using a direct quotation is a bit like referring to a court stenographer. The historian can establish what exactly was said so that he/she can clearly show that his/her interpretation is correct. Paraphrasing can be used, but it can be a dangerous way to use these documents as evidence. Paraphrasing creates the possibility that the reader might misinterpret the intent of the author.
Be sure to cite your evidence. Use whatever citation method you are familiar with. If you are unfamiliar with any citation method, feel free to simply put the page number from which you got the quote or idea at the end of the sentence in which you are referencing this material.
