Thesis

 Make an argument based on the question

o Ex: Did status improve or decline  Pick one and argue for it (or at least say it did more of one than the other)

o Ex: What were the actions or reactions  Pick one or more and argue for it

Documents & Evidence

 Make sure you address every single document at some point in your essay

 Quoting the documents doesn’t prove “understanding” and can’t be counted as “evidence”

 Analyze the documents individually

o “Docs 2,3,4 all show that…” is fine for a grouping statement, but not for “addressing”, “understanding”, or “evidence”

 “Understanding” means demonstrating a correct analysis of the document’s content

 “Evidence” means using the information in the document to prove why your argument is correct

Groupings

 Groupings must support your thesis

o If your thesis is “Women’s rights improved”, don’t do a grouping showing how rights declined

o Groupings must have 2 or more documents to qualify as a group

Point of View (PoV)

 “Point of View” means explaining why a person’s gender/occupation/location/religion/etc affect their opinion.

 PoV cannot be analyzed as a group

o Ex: Since Docs 2, 3, and 4 all come from women, they are obviously biased

 A PoV explanation needs to explain “why” a bias exists or “how” a bias affects a person…not simply state that a bias exists.

Additional Document Requests

 You have to request an actual document (ex: a diary, a royal decree, a shipping manifest)

 You have to explain how this document would contribute to your argument
