Final Paper (10pts): The final paper (5-8 pages of text) should include the draft requirements plus corrections, additions, and edits (including more document analysis and extensive proofreading) needed for final submission.
As with the draft, you must properly use and cite your sources—you can earn no higher than a “D” if you do not.
There should be significant improvement from the draft in terms of analysis and historical context.
Adding a sentence or two or changing a few words from the draft is not the goal—put time and effort into improving the final paper.

Paper Draft
Due Mar 24 by 11:59pm Points 10 Submitting a text entry box or a file upload
Start Assignment
Paper Draft (10pts): The draft has a title page, the text is double-spaced in paragraph form, the introduction is fully developed and reveals key ideas from the primary sources you will analyze and describes your main arguments, key points, and ideas that the paper’s body develops.
Include a much more substantial paper body, now 3-5 pages of text, that more thoroughly develops each of your key arguments and ideas. Include a more refined conclusion.
There can be some grammatical and other errors, but proofread and edit the draft so that it is in a polished form (relatively free of errors).
All your sources must be properly cited (Chicago/Turabian footnotes or endnotes or MLA-parenthetical) and include a bibliography.
You cannot earn higher than a “D” if you do not cite sources.

Start Assignment
Paper Topic (2pts): Your first page should be a separate title page (include your name, course name and number, the paper’s title, and the date).
The title should reflect the paper’s purpose (an analysis of primary sources)—eg., An Analysis of Ancient Roman Primary Sources.
Include a brief description of a potential topic, a one or two- sentence thesis (arguments or points you intend to make) and some of the key ideas and themes and the importance of the primary sources you have chosen to analyze.
Include a list of the primary sources you are intending to analyze from particular chapter(s) of the primary source reader or identify other primary source(s) you will use.
In addition to the title page, I’m looking for a paragraph (which can include bullet points) that has the aforementioned information.

General Instructions (from the syllabus for the Primary Source Analysis Paper) are below:
Paper Assignment: Primary source analysis (supported by secondary sources for context and historical narrative).
A great place for Western Civilization primary sources is PCC: https://guides.pcc.edu/c.php? g=225959&p=1497800
(PCC is Portland Community College Library) Note: for help studying, reading, and writing, go to the campus Reading and Writing Center, CG 409 or go to http://www.nvcc.edu/annandale/asc/writing/index.html
Using primary sources from chapters 1-15 of Sources of the Making of the West-Volume 1 or any primary source (book, novel, or Portland Community College (PCC) Library etc.,), what can we learn

https://learn.vccs.edu/courses/623320/assignments/13519315 2/2
about a society or civilization during a particular historical era (from ancient history to 1648)? Write a 5– 8-page paper analyzing what the primary sources reveal about important issues, events, or ideas. Your paper must contain a central, guiding thesis stating your viewpoint or interpretation of the documents and related historical events. Be creative, marshal your evidence (use your textbook to help you analyze your primary sources), and defend your views. Effective historical writing contains a clearly articulated thesis, convincing evidence, and insightful analysis.
Based on your reading or research, address the following: 1) What possible conclusions can you make about the nature of the society, culture, and politics during the time? 2) What concerns seem to be uppermost in the public mind? 3) What do your sources reveal the existence of particular tensions and anxieties peculiar to the period? 4) What attitudes do the writer(s) exhibit toward any of the following (depending on your topic and thesis): politics, international and military events, economics, religion, territorial and urban growth, ideologies, agriculture and industry, transportation and communication, reform movements, social issues, gender, race, immigration, slavery, class, crises, imperialism, war, technology, sexuality, racism, leisure, the family, etc…?
