Make sure that each paragraph begins with a clear topic sentence. Maintain unity in the paragraph by staying on topic, and end with a concluding sentence. Each paragraph must stand alone. Your paragraph must support why the item is significant to the development of Western Civilization. Your paragraph must focus on analysis, not summary; thus, it must provide a clear argument for why the event is important and must indicate any lasting legacies or influences that were made to Western Civilization.

Do not quote sources. Use only your own words, but when you summarize or paraphrase specific information from sources (such as the textbook, articles, or research), use properly formatted citations. If you are not sure whether something needs a citation, err on the side of safety, and provide a citation.

If your explanation of an item requires more than 1 paragraph, do not hesitate to write 2 or more paragraphs. Remember, use only 1 topic per paragraph. Make sure that you do have complete paragraphs, and do not consider 1 sentence to be a paragraph; each paragraph must have at least 3 sentences.

Item – Date

Each paragraph must not contain fewer than 75 wordsor exceed 100 words, so proofread your work for brevity and clarity. Use the Grammar Guidelines in the “Additional Information” folder to check for major grammatical issues, and use the Timeline Exercise Grading Rubric to check for the academic standards for content, organization, and format. Before submitting your paper, make sure that each paragraph is unified and coherent, and include solid transitions to provide fluency of your ideas.
