HW19: (DOUBLE HOMEWORK) Write a document-based essay response to the question: Do you think nationalism has had more of a positive or negative effect on the world? Please read the guidelines (below) carefully. Due Tuesday, 12/12. Grading Criteria: 1) Original Work - I'm only interested in reading your own original work. Your sentences should be created "from scratch" using factual information from the documents, your notes, or the textbook. Any evidence of direct copying or paraphrasing from online material or the textbook will result in a diminished (or non-existent!) grade. 2) Thesis - Make sure your thesis (argument) is made clear in your introduction. The best place to do this is the last sentence in your introductory paragraph. 3) Evidence - Back up your argument with sufficient evidence in the body paragraphs. 4) Citations - Use proper citations (document #s in parentheses) as you would for a Regents-style DBQ essay. 5) Outside Information - Use at least one piece of evidence that is not in the document. 6) Address & Refute Counterclaim - Show that you understand the opposing side, but state why it is wrong! 7) Conclusion - Restate your thesis and leave the reader with an insightful closing idea. 8) Mechanics - This includes: spelling; sentence structure; grammar; and organization of ideas. 9) Presentation - This assignment must be typed. Use the attached template. (double-spaced; 12-point Arial font; 1-inch margins)
