From earlier blog - KEEP IN MIND:
As augmentation to Ms. Moore's Term Paper, scholars must write an historically-based argument Persuasive Essay which adheres strictly to guidelines from the OAH Magazine of History Outlines. In following the basic outline, this exercise will prepare scholars for the long-term Historical Argument Essays in American History classes.
1. Ask a question of historical interpretation that invites controversy.
EX: "Was the Wilmot Proviso a great impetus of the Civil War?"
2. Claim a controversial hypothesis answering the question.
3. Claim controversial and logical reasons for believing the hypothesis
4. Apply specific and relevant factual evidence to support each reason and, if necessary, explain how this evidence supports the claimed reason
5. Make claims that oppose the supporting claims, give evidence for this opposition, and then rebut this opposing argument with new evidence in order to restore the arguer’s original claim
6. Write inferential questions asking for new and unknown facts that, by inference, would help test the claim already made.
Further more defined outlines to be supplied in class (if absent, grab one from front door folders).
