Greetings,
Remember, your “Wonders” essay is due on Tuesday, To
turn it in, you need to 1. bring a paper copy to class, and 2. Submit the same
version of the paper to turnitin.com by midnight. (Go to to www.turnitin.com The Class id 9565736 and the Password is history)
I also wanted to remind you of a couple of final
thoughts on the essay.
First, cite the information in any acceptable citation
format: APA, MLA, Chicago Manual. You must cite both quotes and information and
paraphrases.
Second, remember that the most important element of
this project is the analysis. This is where your informed opinion and your deep
study of the object/wonder of your choice combine to make a new, original, and
fascinating claim. I know that this is the most difficult part, but it should
also be the most fruitful; it represents the height of college-level study to
go beyond description, to create to your own original claim and back it up with
evidence.
Third, be sure that you or someone else reads over
your final draft before you print it out and turn it in. There should not be a
single typo, misspelled word, or simple mistake. As a professional piece of work that you are
submitting, the final draft should be polished. We mentioned in class that the
final “look” is not important (cover page, format of citations, format of title
page), but the final state of your paper is: polish, re-read, get help with the
re-reading.
I look forward to seeing what you have found in your
explorations of these historical wonders.
See you Tuesday—or in the office tomorrow from 10-1!
Dr. S
