Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In your essay, you should 1) summarize McPherson\u2019s main argument(s), 2) discuss how he supports his arguments and the evidence he uses, and 3) explain whether or not you find his arguments convincing.

You should also find at least two academic reviews of McPherson\u2019s book and incorporate these into your review, with proper citation. Reviews can be found through databases such as JSTOR and Project MUSE via the UTA Library website.<\/p>\n

(These will let you see how other historians have evaluated McPherson\u2019s book and provide you with some outside perspectives on the book and subject matter.)<\/p>\n

By the assigned due date, <\/span>you must submit your completed work as a Word document to the dropbox on Canvas under \u201cAssignments.\u201d<\/u><\/p>\n

Length:<\/strong> <\/span>Your review should be 4-5 pages of text, double-spaced. Include page numbers.<\/p>\n

Structure:<\/strong> <\/span>Your essay should meet a standard of college-level writing. It should be organized into paragraphs. It should have an introduction and conclusion. Some good writing advice is that the introduction should give the reader a sense of what you are <\/span>going to say<\/u>, the middle paragraphs should say it, and the conclusion should help <\/span>recap what you have said<\/u>.<\/p>\n

You do not need a special header\u2014your name on the first page is sufficient.<\/p>\n

Quoting:<\/strong> <\/span>Statements taken directly from the texts should be within quotation marks. Your essay <\/span>should<\/u> <\/span>include direct quotations. You can also paraphrase an author by restating what they say in your own words.<\/p>\n
