Assignment 3
Document Analysis Essay
This assignment is to be submitted in WORD format.
This is your second attempt at writing an essay that analyzes a set of primary sources. As with the first assignment, you are again asked to look at a set of primary sources—documents, or images, or maps, or a combination of these—and try to answer some questions about the past through an analysis of the sources. Your answer to those questions will come in the form of a short essay of about 1,500 words (or 6–7 double-spaced, typed pages) on one of topics.
Review the comments made in your returned Assignment 1 to see where you may improve with this assignment. Review the documents in the Tool Box package to assist your efforts, especially “Guidelines for Critical Analysis of primary History documents” and “Sample Historical Document Analysis” by C. T. Evans to assist you with this assignment. A sample bibliography from another Wiesner chapter is provided in your course materials to help you improve in your bibliography preparation.
Using the textbook Discovering the Western Past: A Look at the Evidence, 7th edition, you are asked to select one of the three topics listed below. Read each section carefully. Select one of the three topics for closer study, as you will need to use the sources and discussion in your chosen chapter to answer one of the sets of key questions below. Your answer should also address some of the other questions raised in the ‘Questions to Consider’ section of the relevant chapter.
Choose one of the following problems:
| Key questions | Relevant chapter in Discovering the Western Past, 7th edition |
| 1. What was life like for students at a medieval university? On what issues can one find common ground among students, professors, church officials, university authorities? What issues were the sources of division or causes of revolt? (Use all 13 sources as evidence to argue your essay) | Chapter 7 “Life at a Medieval University” |
| 2. The medieval cloth trade was an important and complex industry. How was it governed? What were the sources of social and economic conflicts that arose in the industry? Were these conflicts the same everywhere? Did the family play a role in this economic world? (Use all 13 sources as evidence to argue your essay.) | Chapter 9 “Social and economic Conflicts in the Late Medieval Cloth Trade” |
| 3. What social, economic, and political factors were important in the Protestant Revolution? What were Luther’s ideas about reform and who were affected by them? How were Luther’s ideas disseminated so widely and rapidly? How were these ideas made appealing to different groups in German society? (Use all 10 sources as evidence to argue your essay) | Chapter 12 “The Spread of the Reformation” |
