Instructions :
Maza’s Violette Nozière. For this assignment, you must both accurately summarize the book AND identify and evaluate the persuasiveness of the author’s historical argument/s. What is the author trying to convince the reader of (by utilizing the material she gathered)? Are you convinced by her historical argument? In your conclusion, comment on how the book adds to your previous knowledge about the experiences of women in everyday life, or the historical era in question.
Format: 5 pages 12-point font, Times New Roman or similar, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, an imaginative/creative title, page numbers, footnote citations (see below for an example or the Rampolla, A Pocket Guide to Writing in History, Chapter 7, “Footnote Guide,” PDF on Blackboard). Papers will be reduced one letter grade for improper footnote style (ex. A to A-). Papers will be reduced one letter grade for failing to include a bibliography (ex. A to A-).
N.B.: A well-organized paper will have a strong introductory paragraph with a clearly stated thesis. It will feature transitions between paragraphs and topic sentences for each paragraph. Each paragraph will explore an aspect of your thesis statement and will then support/explain that aspect with evidence from the texts. Instead of dropping nice quotes in from the texts, explain why they are meaningful, or how they fit in with your argument and thesis.
Your paper must have citations throughout. The discipline of history is about finding sources, explaining what they mean, and giving them due credit. A paper without quotations, analysis, and footnotes (in this case, you’re citing the book you’ve read), will not score well.
Guidelines for Writing in History
While you may use the personal pronoun of “I” when you write, only do so in the conclusion paragraph. Given the specifics of these writing assignments, the conclusion is the best place for “I.”
Body paragraphs should contain at least two quotes (if not more) and/or citations from the text, which you should cite with footnotes.
Paraphrase and cite (footnote) information from the text that you can easily reword yourself.1
Quote and cite (footnote) information that has been written in such a way that your own words could never
do it justice. In other words, “Do quote if the words of the original are especially memorable.”2
Avoid block quotations. These papers are short; you should save space to highlight your own analysis.
Footnotes should look something like the footnote below, at the bottom of this page:
a. A footnote number is placed AFTER the period of the sentence that contains the first reference, paraphrase,
or quoted text from the book. The footnote is placed after the punctuation. You should indent footnotes by one tab after you create them in Word. You create them by going to the top menu tool bar & finding “Footnote” in the appropriate drop-down menu, depending on what computer you use. Once the small number magically appears, both in the body of your essay and at the bottom of your page, then indent it at the bottom of the page. Not sure how to footnote? Ask your classmates who do know! Footnotes will automatically work in chronological order; you never need to edit or type a number.
Footnotes must contain the page (ex: 5) or page numbers (ex 5-7) where the quote or referenced material is found.
The footnote text is ONE FONT SIZE SMALLER (11 pt) than the rest of the essay.
You only need to use the full citation one time. For the second citation you use a “shortened form.”3 Rampolla describes this shortened form on page 121.4 Footnotes 2 and 4, below, are
shortened form.
If you cite the same source two or more times, in consecutive order, (first citation is a full citation,
the second citation is shortened form), use “Ibid., page number.” Ibid. is a Latin term short for ibidem (meaning “in the same place”). To use Ibid., your footnote must be using the same source as the one above it.
If it feels like you’re using too many footnotes, you’re probably doing it correctly! It’s better to over cite, than under cite.
Your essay should have an original title that cleverly communicates your main point/thesis.
Make sure your writing is double spaced, typed in Times New Roman (or similar) font, 12 pt., with your name, section
number, and date at the top of the first page and page numbers at the bottom of the page. Please, no title pages or blank
pages (save a tree!).
You should proofread your writing (i.e., read out loud). Reading out loud may seem basic, but it will help find
grammatical errors.
We do not read fiction or novels in this class. A historical monograph is not a novel. Do not refer to the books we read, in your papers, as fiction or novels.
Footnote format and bibliography format are different, slightly. Refer to Rampolla “Footnote Guide” to learn how to write out the different formats. Papers must have a bibliography page.
You may cite lecture in your papers. See footnote three, below. Be sure to update the below footnote with accurate info.
