A GUIDE TO AN “A”: SECTION I: IDS (36%; 12 points each) You will be asked to pick 3 ids (of a choice of 6) to define using the following criteria. The ids will be from the terms written on the board during lecture. I ask you to write your answers in sentences.

Who, What, Why, Where, When.

Not all of these questions work for each identification, but the most important is the WHY – this is the question that asks – why is this term important; what is its historical significance.

For dates, I ask you only to give a 10-year period ( a decade: 1690s; or between 1735-45). If you decide to give an EXACT date, I will take ½ point off if it is wrong.

Sample Ids that would receive full credit: A Modest Proposal: A satirical work written by Jonathan Swift in the 1720s. The work proposed eating babies in order to solve the poverty and overpopulation in Ireland. Swift was born in Ireland of English parents and was an Anglican. Despite his attachment to the ruling class, his essay demonstrates that he cared more about the state of Ireland and its people. He worked to improve the situation of the Irish in the era following the penal codes.

The Banishment Act: An Act from 1697, the Banishment Act was one of the Penal Codes passed by the Irish parliament following the War of the Two Kings. The Act itself banished all regular clergy from Ireland and later included the bishops, archbishops and deans. The Act itself was a measure put into place in an attempt of the Protestants to suppress Catholicism in hopes that the religion would die out. King William argued that it was in force to keep those friendly to France out of Ireland. The act was enforced for almost 20 years, but had no long term effects, as some of the clergy ignored it and others reentered the kingdom later in the 18th century.

SECTION II: ESSAY (64%, worth 64 points) The essay will concern a theme or a specific event we have covered in the class. You will be expected to have your essay well organized/written with a THESIS statement laying out your argument in an introductory paragraph, and additional paragraphs to back up your argument. An “A” essay will include information from both lectures and your reading. MAKE SURE you follow your thesis and defend the argument you define using examples from the course.
