Compose an essay, 1000 words minimum, that addresses all the parts of the question above. Use only the secondary and primary sources provided in our readings and on the course site. Aim to use at least half of the primary sources as the main evidence to support your analysis.
essay questions:
A common image of medieval Europe invented in the 10th century was the Three Orders of Chistendom comprised of clergymen, nobles, and laborers. How accurately did this schema reflect the reality of medieval society as it developed after 1000? What groups were left out? How would characterize the makeup of medieval society?
Ask yourself these questions before you submit your essay. They all reflect what’s in the rubric and on the discussion boards. These are what I look for as I evaluate your essay. Watch the video on rewrites for more on all this. Hope it helps!
1. Do I open with an introduction that lays out all the parts of the question and situates the topic in historical context?
2. Do I address each part of the question using only the images and primary sources provided on the course site and in our textbook? Don’t use outside materials!
3. Do I use paragraphs to group together at least two sources/images to support each of my main points as I address each part of the question? Three is even better!
4. Do I identify each image and source’s point of view? Who wrote it? When? Audience and purpose? Kind of document? Don’t just number the source!
5. Do I analyze how the sources relate to the question or do I simply just describe them with little reference back to the question?
6. Do I make sweeping generalizations and use anachronisms*? Or instead do I limit my analysis to what the evidence supports and keep focused on the historical context?
7. Do I address change over time in my analysis? Do I use the textbook to connect my essay to relevant historical trends?
8. Do the sections of my essay buiild one to the next? How does the point I just made in one paragraph lead to the next one I plan to make?
9. Do I close with a conclusion that sums up the main takeaways of the essay, including change over time?
10. Did I proofread my essay to correct errors and improve its clarity and organization?
* An anachronism is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of people, events, objects, language terms and customs from different time periods. Anything that is out of its historical time and place is an anachronism. A common example is to apply standards and norms from today that were different from those in the past, to say, for example, that people have always wanted to be equal or that women have always worked in the home. Those are both sweeping generalizations and anachronistic.
