\n a six to eight page\n <\/div>\n
\n comparative analysis\n <\/div>\n

\n This is not a topical paper\n <\/div>\n
\n . Your focus should\n <\/div>\n
\n be on\n <\/div>\n
\n analyzing the field of historical writing\n <\/div>\n
\n about\n <\/div>\n
\n this topic\n <\/div>\n
\n , and not\n <\/div>\n
\n just the topic\n <\/div>\n
\n itself.\n <\/div>\n
\n Directions\n <\/div>\n
\n 1.\n <\/div>\n
\n Pre\n <\/div>\n
\n pare a one paragraph prospectus\n <\/div>\n
\n and list of sources for your project,\n <\/div>\n
\n due Monday March\n <\/div>\n
\n 27. A prospectus is a research plan, b\n <\/div>\n
\n riefly stating the topic you will write about in your essay.\n <\/div>\n
\n Use the\n <\/div>\n
\n Cunningham Library electroni\n <\/div>\n
\n c databases\n <\/div>\n
\n (\n <\/div>\n
\n including WorldCat, JSTOR,\n <\/div>\n
\n and Academic\n <\/div>\n

\n to\n <\/div>\n
\n identify at least\n <\/div>\n

\n Identify\n <\/div>\n
\n how\n <\/div>\n
\n these\n <\/div>\n
\n historians have written about the same topic\n <\/div>\n
\n in different ways\n <\/div>\n
\n .\n <\/div>\n
\n Your\n <\/div>\n
\n essay will be about the current sta\n <\/div>\n
\n te o\n <\/div>\n
\n f research on your topic. Rather than summarizing your\n <\/div>\n
\n materials, you will need to\n <\/div>\n
\n ana\n <\/div>\n
\n lyz\n <\/div>\n
\n e the work of the historians. Read carefully and think about\n <\/div>\n
\n how each writer\n <\/div>\n
\n has written about the same topic in different ways\n <\/div>\n
\n : what are their arguments,\n <\/div>\n
\n what sources do they use,\n <\/div>\n
\n what subtopics do they explore,\n <\/div>\n
\n what larger\n <\/div>\n
\n point are the\n <\/div>\n
\n y trying to\n <\/div>\n
\n make with their research? Take careful notes as you read to help prepare the final paper.\n <\/div>\n
\n 3.\n <\/div>\n
\n Write a 6\n <\/div>\n
\n \u2013\n <\/div>\n
\n 8 page comparative analysis of your sources.\n <\/div>\n
\n Like in other analytical essays we\n <\/div>\n
\n have written, you should be sure\n <\/div>\n
\n to\n <\/div>\n
\n p\n <\/div>\n
\n resent a clear\n <\/div>\n
\n argument\n <\/div>\n
\n in the form of a\n <\/div>\n
\n thesis statement\n <\/div>\n
\n in\n <\/div>\n
\n the introduction\n <\/div>\n
\n . Your thesis\n <\/div>\n
\n st\n <\/div>\n
\n atement\n <\/div>\n
\n is a brief summary\n <\/div>\n
\n of the conclusions you have drawn\n <\/div>\n
\n from your source materials\n <\/div>\n
\n (in this case, historical writing)\n <\/div>\n
\n . Do this in one clear, concise\n <\/div>\n
\n sentence.\n <\/div>\n
\n Example:\n <\/div>\n
\n While the prophet Muhammad\n <\/div>\n
\n remains at the center of scholarship on\n <\/div>\n
\n the rise of\n <\/div>\n
\n Islam\n <\/div>\n
\n ,\n <\/div>\n
\n recent studies\n <\/div>\n
\n stress that cultural traditions in the\n <\/div>\n
\n Near East\n <\/div>\n
\n were\n <\/div>\n
\n also\n <\/div>\n
\n important in\n <\/div>\n
\n shaping Islam as world religion.\n <\/div>\n
\n Your paper should be organized ar\n <\/div>\n
\n ound demonstrating\n <\/div>\n
\n your thesis is sound.\n <\/div>\n
\n Putting together a\n <\/div>\n
\n thorough outlin\n <\/div>\n
\n e before you begin writing is a good\n <\/div>\n
\n way to keep everything focused\n <\/div>\n
\n .\n <\/div>\n
\n As you\n <\/div>\n
\n write, p\n <\/div>\n
\n rovide evidence to back up what you are saying through frequent citation of the texts.\n <\/div>\n
\n Express yo\n <\/div>\n
\n ur ideas clearly and directly, and a\n <\/div>\n
\n void vague and subjective language.\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n Formatting and Guidelines\n <\/div>\n
