Part 2: Historical Context Creation
Historical Context Idea Starters
Task:
You may use this organizer (or not) help you draft your 1-2 pages of historical
context.
Due: Friday,
December 21, 2012.
Purpose: The historical context sets the stage for your reader. It allows them to gain the key background information and the development of the ideas that you will later discuss in-depth in your paper. You should only use SECONDARY sources (textbooks) to create this section of your paper. The historical context should be written in CHRONOLOGICAL order- ideas, people and events should appear in your writing in the order that they occurred in history.
Sources: You should be using Foner Chapter 11 and Takaki Chapter 3 & 5 to support your ideas
