Essays should be at least 1000 words long (about four pages), double-spaced. You essay should start with an introduction with a clear thesis statement addressing the question and setting up your argument, and the body of the essay should support and develop your argument using specific material from multiple sources used in this unit. You should use both primary and secondary sources. Do not write in first person. When using information from the readings, cite the appropriate pages using either MLA parenthetical citations or Chicago-style (Turabian) footnotes or endnotes. You may also cite specific lectures and class discussions. Remember, you should document whenever you draw specific information from a source, not just when you quote.
