Document Summary
Article analysis: write question -> write answer to question so there is a clear distinction to what you are looking for/answering. All direct quotes or specific references must have a footnote: assignments without footnotes will be returned for resubmission. Arguments do not equal the subjects that are talked about: what is the author trying to convince you of? (not just what they"re talking about) Secondary: primary: at the time of the event? i. e. court record, painting, secondary: history of that certain period. Specific sources: general: records, paintings, tax records, specific: i. e. jack smith"s history of spain. Important sources are often referred to the text but if not, check footnotes/endnotes. Historiography: body of historical studies (books, articles, etc. ) on a specific subject (i. e. secondary source) Start research soon; focus is the continental europe. Must include a full-length book (more focused) At least five or more sources: written after your time period.
