the focus of your essay. You must cite all sources used.

necessary context, and states a thesis that makes an argument about how
the theme manifested in those societies, as shown in your chosen texts.
• Several body paragraphs that support your thesis. You can organize your
body paragraphs by sub-themes, society, or text, using your chosen texts as
evidence in support of your thesis and reasons. Include topic sentences that
state your reason and tie each paragraph to your thesis.
• A conclusion that non-repetitively and briefly restates your thesis and what is
significant about your analysis and argument.

assignment? What help did you seek out? What would you do differently if
you had the opportunity? What do you understand better or differently after
