Essay One Assignment
Due Wednesday Oct 1

Expand and revise one of your two short papers (on Revel or Rowlandson), answering the same question as before.

Your essay must be type-written, double-spaced in a legible font and format, and be between 1250 and 1500 words in length. (This will be about 4-5 pages in most fonts).

Use only readings assigned for the course. For long sources, use the translations provided and refer only to the sections assigned for the course. You may not use outside sources.

Your answer must refer to primary sources at least five times total. You may either quote or paraphrase the source, but the reference must be cited. You may use either parenthetical citations or footnotes to give the author. Like this (author, page #) or this.[1] You must also cite uses of secondary sources, such as the textbook and lecture, but they do not count towards the five uses of primary sources.

You do not need to include a cover page or a works cited page.

Essays must have a strong thesis in the first paragraph, answer the question correctly with reasoned argument, evidence an organized structure and be based on the primary source evidence. Egregious grammatical and spelling errors will adversely affect the final grade.
