You will write one essay for this course.
A successful essay will incorporate specific evidence from the assigned readings. I will evaluate your essay on the strength and clarity of the thesis, development of the argument, use of evidence, and writing style/grammar. Please see the attached Rubric. It explains in detail what you need to do to earn the most possible points on each essay. You will see a category for “outstanding effort” in the rubric. These 5 points are awarded for essays that go above and beyond all requirements. Keep in mind that the professor maintains the right to adjust the rubric score. You may not always earn full points in one category. Read the feedback carefully once your grade has been posted.
You may also find it useful to use my essay checklist to make sure you have correctly formatted your essay and framed your argument.
The essay must be at least three full pages in length, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, and 12 point Times New Roman font. Papers that are below required length (even by half a page) will lose significant points from the total score.
The essays must be submitted on D2L Dropbox by the deadline. Please upload for your file in a Word format. Do NOT upload a PDF.
Essay Question: Perpetua’s Journey
In Perpetua’s Journey, we read one account of a Christian woman’s imprisonment and execution in the Roman Empire. This book recreates her story in comic book form. Now pick one of three options: 1) Perpetua’s visions; 2) Perpetua’s death; or 3) Perpetua as mother. Using this theme, make an argument: 
How well did the author and illustrator do in bringing this part of Perpetua’s history to life? Be specific about what the author and illustrator included, and what information you learned. 
What parts of this story needed more information? What questions did you have as a reader that were left unanswered? 
To complete this assignment, you will need to tell me what you know about Perpetua by using citations from the book. When citing your evidence, you can either refer to the diary itself (in the final portion of the book), or to the graphic novel version of it (in the first section of the book). Either is perfectly fine. 
Let me give an example to help you. Suppose I gave you the option to talk about Perpetua as a woman. I might create an argument that looked like this:
In Perpetua’s Journey, author Jennifer Rea and illustrator Liz Clarke vividly and effectively depict the imprisonment and execution of a young mother, Perpetua, in the Roman Empire. They do a good job of showing how Perpetua faced specific challenges as a woman, but had little information about how her status as a woman might have impacted her relationships with her fellow martyrs. 
A successful essay will then include specific examples of how: 1) the comic was vivid and effective in depicting Perpetua as a young mother; 2) how it did a good job of showing challenges that Perpetua faced as a woman; and 3) how it did not include much information on how other prisoners sentenced to death might have felt about Perpetua because of her status as a woman. 
Remember: you must refer to specific parts of the graphic novel portion of the book. You may want to describe specific comic panels that you felt were particularly insightful. Include page numbers any time you reference specific information from the book. 
Late Essays:
You are responsible for managing your time and making sure you complete all written assignments by the assigned deadline. Do not wait until the last minute and risk that something may prevent you from completing the work.
The essay loses 5 points for each 24-hour-period after the deadline. The maximum late penalty is 20 points. In other words, if you submit your essay four days late, even if it is the most brilliant essay I’ve ever read, it cannot earn you more than an 80 % (a B-).  

Hitler’s rise to the chancellorship was not inevitable. Many factors combined to result in Nazi victory. What, in your interpretation, was the most significant factor that led to Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor in January 1933?
Remember to support your claims with evidence from the readings and videos (including citations).
I included the citations for you and uploaded a copy of the transcriipt from the videos since I am not able to share the video that can only be accessed by my schools login.

Step One
Begin at the home page of the Old Bailey Online. On the left-hand side of the page, click Search . Under Offence , select the type of crime you’re interested in researching. Under Time Period, select January 1700 and December 1900. Then click the red Search button at the bottom of the page.
Step Two
Once you’ve completed your search, a list of cases will pop up. You may find that you want to search for a few different types of crime before you settle on the one that interests you most. You will also discover that some of the transcripts of cases are incredibly brief, and you may need to read through several before you find two cases with enough information on which to base your Case Analysis. Select two cases which represent interesting aspects of the crime you’ve chosen. You may decide to select a case from early in the 1700s, and another case from the later 1800s, in order to show how legal or social reactions to certain crimes changed over time. You may also choose to focus on two cases which highlight different attitudes to different types of offenders (men, women, children, the poor, the wealthy…etc). The only rule is that the two cases must feature the same type of crime (e.g.: you cannot compare a case of theft with a case of infanticide).
Step Three
Once you’ve selected the two cases you wish to consider, read through the details of each case, making note of elements of the case that interest you, or which generate questions.
Step Four
Find at least three, and no more than five, secondary sources which speak to the crime you’ve chosen. One source can be drawn from the course readings, but the other two sources must be articles or books not listed as part of the materials for the course. You’re welcome to choose sources from the list of supplementary readings contained on the course website. These sources are all from reputable, academic journals and books, and are excellent readings to use as a starting point for research. You may find that the footnotes or endnotes in these sources will point out other articles and books which may be useful to you, thereby cutting down on your need to conduct searches of the entire Guelph Library catalogue (which can be overwhelming). A list of secondary sources has also been compiled which includes relevant sources organized by topic. Should you choose to use any sources not included in this list or in the list of course readings or supplementary readings, make sure to consult me as soon as possible in order to ensure that you’ve selected appropriate sources. Wikipedia, online blogs, dictionaries, and encyclopaedias are not considered appropriate sources for an assignment at this level. Please use the library’s website to find academic, peer-reviewed journals or books.
Step Five
After you’ve read through your primary and secondary sources, you’re ready to complete the Case Analysis. The goal of this assignment is to use the primary source material (the court cases) and the knowledge you’ve gained from the course material and the secondary sources (the articles and books you’ve read) to make an overall argument. Your essay should not merely describe the two cases, or summarize the articles you’ve read. Instead, your essay must have a clear thesis, and must demonstrate your ability to make an educated conclusion about the subject you’ve chosen. You may choose to argue that attitudes to your chosen crime changed over time in a specific way, or that legal and social attitudes to your crime diverged as a result of a specific factor, or set of factors. Your analysis will be assessed based on four areas: the depth of analysis and the level of detail, the relevance and use of your sources, your overall writing style, and the formatting of your essay and bibliography.
In general, most history papers follow a traditional format (intro & thesis, point one, point two, point three, conclusion). History essays are argumentative in nature, and they should be built around a strong argument that is based on primary and secondary source materials. Since this is a short essay, it would be helpful to structure your essay like this:
Introduction (including a thesis statement)
P1: a brief summary of the two cases
P2-P4: an explanation of social/cultural/legal attitudes to this crime. These paragraphs should reinforce your thesis. If attitudes changed over time, how and why did they do so? You can return to evidence in the two cases to support your points
Conclusion (sum up your arguments)
Remember, the most important element of your essay is your argument. Don’t just summarize what you’ve read. Make a statement about how these primary sources highlight some important legal and social attitudes to your crime, and, conversely, how these attitudes impacted how this particular crime was dealt with by the justice system. Keep in mind that one of the easiest and clearest arguments to make is to identify a change occurring over time. A case in 1700 is going to be different from a case in 1900. Your job is to pinpoint why, and to suggest how social attitudes influence this change.
Your essay should follow the typical conventions for academic writing. Your essay should:
Be written in essay format (no point form), though sub-headings are acceptable;
Follow the conventions of academic essays (avoid the use of personal pronouns, contractions, and colloquial language);
Be based on your own research (you should not need to reference the course materials, though what you have learned during the course should certainly inform your opinions);
Include a title page, including your name and student number, the title of the course, the title of your Case Analysis, and the date;
Include footnotes and a bibliography written in the University of Chicago format

Reconstruction was a pivotal point in American history, which is why this class starts with it. But, it is also extremely controversial. Was Reconstruction overall a success or a failure? Make an argument for your perspective on it (taking into consideration the different things Reconstruction set out to do). Then comment on your classmates’ posts, and discuss how and when Reconstruction failed or succeeded.
Remember, be civil. You are welcome to disagree: this will be a boring discussion if you don’t! But don’t attack each other.
