papers main argument (or thesis statement) about what the paper will tell the reader.
2. The body of the paper answers each of the questions posed in the essay assignment
prompt based on knowledge of the historical topic and specific evidence found in the primary sources. Each paragraph should have a specific focus or argument. Each paragraph should connect back to the main argument presented in the introduction and further develop the students analysis of the primary source documents.
3. A short concluding paragraph summarizes the students findings and analysis presented by the paper. It also offers final thoughts on the topic, for instance, if the essay asks for the students opinion

? Synthesize that information into a well-written paper.
? Consider the various perspectives, assumptions, and biases presented by the authors of
the multiple documents.
? Make your own conclusions about the meaning/significance of the documents based on
the questions given on the next page.
