A winner of the John S. Knight Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from the Department of History, Hist 100, Modern Visions of the Medieval and Renaissance World. This sequence for the entire course offers an extended series of inter-related assignments, all of which build toward the final essay, an 8-10 page research paper. Students apply the methods they have learned- of both primary source analysis and historiographical analysis- to their own, individual, research projects. Preparatory writing and activities include study questions, learning to use primary and secondary sources, and studying the presentation and interpretation of evidence. Materials include study questions (e. g. on The Da Vinci Code and Daughter of Time), essay assignments, and handouts (e.g. "Evaluating Primary Sources"). 17 page pdf
