Brainstorm Gather relevant Data Organize your thoughts Provide structure Create an Outline Three criteria for evaluation: Statement Evidence Significance/Analysis is a device to “grab” the readers’ attention. , identifies the purpose and intent of the paper, the methodology to be used, and a brief statement on the significance of the paper (what the paper contributes to our broader knowledge or to the author’s better understanding of the topic). The Thesis Statement should serve as a road map for the reader wherein the author identifies what s/he will do (general intent) how s/he will do it (specific arguments/claims and evidence used to support thesis) state why the intent is significant (i.e. what new knowledge or interpretations might the subject matter present either for the audience and/or the author). An example of a thesis statement is: “In this essay, I will examine Acuña’s and Villa’s essays as they pertain to Manifest Destiny. I will discuss major events that occurred prior to the Mexican American War and events following the War. This discussion will be contextualized within US foreign policy dating to the late eighteenth century toward Latin America and will allow us to see (……. Claims to be made here). Specific attention will be paid to Benjamin Franklin’s “marking” Mexico for US expansion, the attempts by the United States to purchase parts of Mexico prior to the Mexican American War, the Monroe doctrine, and the Texas Revolt. Discussion of events that followed the war will include name changes of public areas, displacement and legislation that excluded non-whites, on racial grounds, from job opportunities, land ownership, and political participation. This will be discussed in order to demonstrate how the ideals of Manifest Destiny were enacted through different practices before the war and to document their consequences on the Mexican and Indian populations after the war.” A statement or argument support it with evidence or premise (including citation), and provide analysis. The following is an example of this: The Spaniards dehumanized Amerindian women on multiple levels. For instance, according to Antonia Castañeda, women were victims of sexual violence at the hands of Spanish soldiers and were relegated to secondary status by Franciscan Friars and policy makers when they became part of a dowry system that was created in an effort to decrease the incidents of sexual violence. (Castañeda, p.116) : Thus, the social position of Amerindian women was characterized by the brutality of physical and psychological terror imposed on them by soldiers and by their incorporation into the Spanish legal realm through policies that made them secondary to men. Among the various consequences, this secondary status resulted in their having less economic, political, and other opportunities than men. Revisit the major points addressed in the paper.
