B. Essay Guidelines (40 Points)
THE FORMAT (40 Points)
Introduction (80+ words) (5 points)
– Who is your foreign-born subject? Why did you chose him/her/they?”
– Present your thesis: overall argument or main concept(s) reflected in the person’s story.
Short Oral History (400+ words) (15 points)
– Give brief narrative – can be autobiographical or biographical.
– Identify any key themes, chronology, or topics
– Present subject’s origin/birth country.
Reflection & Analysis (220+ words) (20 points)
– Place narrative in historical perspective. Do some research on the birth country during the decade the parents gave birth to subject in order to help you gain perspective and context for the person’s story, constraints, and needs.
– What does this story tell us about certain themes in marginalized or disenfranchised communities in U.S. History?
– Link to course material and concepts.
You can combine or intertwine section #2 and #3. Another way is to write section #2 as an overview or big picture and when I start section #3 go into more detail into specific aspects of their story using course concepts to organize each paragraph. In short, most students write the essay in the order presented above (1, 2, 3).
