Microtheme #1
Please attach your microtheme as a PDF. Your microtheme should be between 750 and 1000 words long–significantly longer or shorter than that and you will be graded down.
I won’t accept late assignments. Also, don’t "resubmit" assignments after the due date–those will be considered late and will not be accepted!
Double-space, underline your thesis, and list your sources at the bottom of your microtheme. Not doing EACH of these things will result in my grading you down one full grade–apiece.
This microtheme will ask you to choose a paired set of documents and use the secondary source to help you analyze the primary source. You should be sure that you apply analysis to BOTH sources–don’t forget to analyze your secondary source and the have the two interact! Be sure to use the skills you perfected writing the Critical Thinking Assignment and Warm Up.
You can use the Strayer book and lectures as background material of course. ANALYZE, ANALYZE, ANALYZE!!!
Primary sources are designated with (P) and secondary sources are designated with (S). A primary source is one that was written by the people of the time and place discussed or a witness to events inside or outside of their society. The Bible and US Constitution are primary documents. A secondary document is something written about the past or an outside view. Your Strayer text is a secondary document, as are the lectures written by me for this course.
You must have a strong thesis statement. You should use all of your discussion to prove your thesis with analysis and resist summary. You may of course use quotations from the documents as needed, but the GREAT majority should be in your own words.
Paired sets of documents:
Paired sets of documents:
1. (P) Luther and Erasmus: Free Will and Salvation (Links to an external site.) (this is long–feel free to pick and choose, and you can use both Luther and Erasmus–or just one of them) (S)Christian Humanism: From Renaissance to Reformation, Lucy Wooding
2. (P) Commissioner Lin’s Letter to Queen Victoria (Links to an external site.) and (S) Coffee, Tea, or Opium (linked)
3. (P)The Destruction of the Indies, Bartolome de las Casas (linked) (S) Were the Spaniards That Cruel? (Links to an external site.) by Gregory Cerio, Newsweek
4. (P) Treaty of Alliance Between Great Britain and Iraq (This link is broken. I am working to get it fixed)(S) Iraq’s Unruly Century (Links to an external site.) (linked and in Annual Editions) or (S) Fighting the Afghans in the 19th Century. You will need to sign into MCC’s EBSCOHost to access this document.
5. (P) Kwame Nkrumah, Prime Minister of Ghana, Speech to the All-African’s Peoples Conference 1958 (linked) (S) The Wind of Change (linked)
My lectures, the Strayer text, the evening news, or Full Frontal with Samantha B, are not eligible sources! I would also prefer that you do not use outside sources. You may of course use the knowledge you gain from lectures, the Strayer textbook, and the supplemental readings to make your arguments, but they can’t count as “sources.”
Writing the Microtheme
Sometimes it is easier to say what something isn’t than what it is when you are trying to define it. The microtheme assignment is not a research paper or a persuasive paper. Writing me a research paper or a persuasive paper will get you a poor grade–a D usually. Equal space, or almost equal space should be devoted to each source.
Instead, you will be constructing a thesis based on what the authors are trying to tell us ABOUT HISTORY. Use your experience writing the Warm Ups to approach the materials for this assignment.
