Description

A winner of the John S. Knight Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from the Department of History, Hist 100, Revelry, Rivalry, and Consumption: Nineteenth-Century Holidays and Civic Life. The sequence asks students to compose different types of essays. Using a range of sources concerning St. Patrick's Day and Independence Day, students write two essays as historical "explanatory narratives." In a third essay, about the characteristics of Thanksgiving in the mid-nineteenth century, students apply or test a theory by taking a position on the merits of that theory. The sequence includes preparatory writing such as study questions, study of language, and outlines. 13 page pdf
