Instructions: Answer ONE of the three essay questions below. Be sure to take a deep breath and sketch an outline before you start to write in formal style. Remember also to provide an introduction with thesis statement, supporting points illustrated by examples from the course materials, source citations and a conclusion.
You may draw on answers given in the class discussions (your or someone else’s—but be sure to give credit where credit is due), but this essay should be original work and in your own words.
These questions are meant to be thought-provoking. Your grade will be determined, not by whether or not I think you give a correct answer, but on your ability to organize and deliver a cogent argument and effectively to use history to support what you have to say. Be creative, but back up your argument with evidence from history. Use citations!
Consider the impact of the First World War on the place of women in Western society. What role did the war play in deciding such issues as women’s suffrage, and economic and social equality. Or did it play a role? Was the effect of the war a lasting one? Did it have a decisive effect, or did it merely speed up developments that already were underway?
Each essay must be 6-7 pages in length, double-spaced, numbered, include 1-inch margins, use 12 point Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, and include a cover page that identifies who you are, the title of the course, the name of your instructor, and state either Midterm Exam or Final Exam.
Each exam essay must include footnotes or endnotes and a Works Cited or Bibliography page. The citation style must be Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will provide instructions on how to cite a source using Chicago/Turabian style. The selected sources must be appropriate to the exam topic, the citations must support the assertions made in the exam, and footnotes or endnotes must be used in each instance where detailed explanations would distract from the argument.
Each essay will include three main parts—the Thesis/Introduction, Argument, and Conclusion.
The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework and outside readings when permitted. Please make sure to ask your instructor for approval. Do not assume that you can use outside readings. The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. It should present your answer(s) to the question(s) asked clearly and concisely in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
