YOU MUST UTILIZE THIS SOURCE https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/1900Fei-boxers.asp
Each primary source analysis should have three sections. I grade you based on whether or not each section fulfills the following requirements.
First Section (1 to 2 paragraphs): This should provide the basic information about the source.
You should begin by identifying the source. Note the author, location, date, type of source, etc. You might have to look a bit to discover this- check out the bottom of each source in the textbook. Also, please give the original title rather than the textbook or sourcebook title whenever possible.
Ex. Rather than identifying the source as “Mary Wollstonecraft on the Rights of Women,” say that it is an excerpt from Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792).
This paragraph should also include basic background on the source, such as information about the time period, location, author, or the events described.
Ex. If you were writing an analysis of Lenin’s “Call to Power” you would want to include information about the causes of the Russian Revolution and the events of its early phases.
This information should come from reliable sources, particularly our textbook Worlds Together, Worlds Apart or the open-access textbook, Modern World History (https://mlpp.pressbooks.pub/modernworldhistory/).
You must cite all of the information you use in the paper.
Second Section (1 to 2 paragraphs): This should give a summary of the source, including the main arguments or content. Writing out the basic summary lets me know that you worked through the language and attempted to understand the source.
You should use one or two direct quotations from the reading in this section, but the rest should be in your own words.
Be sure to cite your quotations.
You should not start analyzing the source. Just restate what is on the page.
Third Section (1 to 2 paragraphs): This is where you must start to analyze the reading. What are the major themes or arguments? Is the source reliable? What biases can you uncover? What can we learn from this source? Alternately, you can make a connection to something we learned for this class or that you learned in a different class.
You should use more quotations from the text in this section.
Remember to cite these too!
You can use I here.
Grammar/Presentation: I expect you to follow the standard conventions of English and to write in a clear, understandable, and professional way. Please proofread and spell check.
