You will be working on Analysis Paper #2
Analysis paper assignments should follow these formatting guidelines: 2–3 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in Turabian format.
3 sources are:
1.War, Health and Medicine (gresham.ac.uk)
2. Michael Howard: The Frist World War A very short introduction
3.Who Started World War I: Crash Course World History 210 (youtube.com)
Throughout this course, you will critically examine primary sources. Be sure to read each source you choose to use fully, reading it a first time, then a second, and even a third if necessary. As you review each source, ask yourself questions about the source:
Who is the author, and what is his or her place in society?
What is the purpose of the piece? Why was it written?
What values or ideas are behind the content in the source? How are they different from my own?
Is the piece credible? Why or why not?
Can the piece be used to support a historical debate? Why or why not?
Your analysis will not directly answer all these questions. However, the picture that is painted by YOUR response to these questions is essential in constructing your analysis of the source. You will apply these skills in developing two analysis papers in this course. Post any questions you have on the analysis papers to the General Questions discussion topic. Note that you may use any of the sources you used for your analysis papers to support your Annotated Bibliography and Narrative Paper. However, if you elect to use these, the sources must specifically support your topic.
Prompt
Your analysis papers will demonstrate your ability to investigate:
The main issue or idea behind the assigned source(s)
The strength and weaknesses of the source (origin, author, purpose)
The meaning and significance of the issue upon which the sources focus, answering the “why” and the “because”
It is important to note that your analysis paper is not an opinion paper and should not contain your opinion on the events, but rather a thorough analysis of the information and historical context specific to the assignment instructions. You will support your analysis with appropriate secondary sources (research and citation), but the analysis should be your own and not reflect others’ interpretation of your selected source(s). Refer to the SNHU Shapiro Library History Guide to assist you in not only researching the author and the period of history in which the assigned source was constructed, but searching for and qualifying your supporting resources.
