LEQ

intro paragraph

contextualize

  • best thing is to give info on the start of the period (like usually for everything you can always connect it back to start of the period) —> 4-5 sentences

thesis

  • for the “to what extent” thesis’s: structure should be "Despite (counter argument), because (evidence#1) and (evidence#2), (my argument)

  • my argument: _____ had a profound, moderate, or minimal impact on ______

  • use compare and contrast for the complexity point so basically one paragraph should be reason #1 but then kinda disprove that with reason #2 for the next paragraph during the explanation part and it obviously works the best if you use “moderate” as your word but can still work with the other ones

  • EXAMPLE:

the prompt:

Evalute the most significant effect of the printing press during the period 1450-1650

contextualization:

my thesis:

Although some may argue that the printing press only spread religion, it more significantly allowed the working class easier access to literacy.
