Summary of Evidence: Hints
- Make sure you run it through the filter of "Does this explicitly answer the question?"
- Organize it on topic rather than source.
- You can put it in bullet form but the final will need to be in paragraph form
- You can summarize people's view rather than put in lengthy quotes
- Leave the historiography for the analysis
- Make sure it is properly refernced. (Cannot accept it without proper refernces)
Analysis: Hints
- Outline different points that need to be analyzed
- Make sure to reference the two sources in analysis
- "An awareness of the significance to the investigation of the sources evaluated in section C" This is part of the IB rubric. You will need to make this known by talking about how much this informaiton can be trusted and/or the value of the interpretation to answering the question.
- You should analyze the multiple interpretations/apporaches historians have on your exact topic.
Conclusion:
- This is where you briefly state you answer to the question and why you came up with it.
- Be blunt and direct here
- Do not introduce any new evidence but make sure to be clear on why you reached that conclusion.

What is, or where can I find, the proper formatting for footnotes?
ReplyDeleteChicago Style. I will attach a link where you can get a handout Mrs. Birklid put together. There are also numerous other places online. The key is to notice the difference between footnotes and list of sources.

I got that footnotes need to be Chicago...is it correct to assume MLA is the right formatting for the works cited/sources portion of the H.I.?
ReplyDeleteNice picture Ali.
ReplyDeleteYou use Chicago for both. Chicago has a way to do footnotes and a way to do a bibliography/list of sources. You have to use the same format throughout the whole paper.

So do you want our sources turned in on Wednesday too? Or just the summary of evidence/analysis/conclusion?
ReplyDeleteWhen doing summary of evidence do we organize it by source so that we only have one footnote per sources?
ReplyDeleteSavannah,
ReplyDeleteYou just need to turn your summary of evidence/analysis/conclusion but you must have the footnotes if you to be able to turn it in.
Gabby,
I always advise people to do by ideas rather than by source. The other thing you could do is follow your method you layed out in the plan.
Good Luck.
If a certain piece of evidence occurs frequently through all of my sources, do I still have to cite it?
ReplyDeleteYes, unless most people walking down the street know it.
ReplyDeleteSo, the analysis doesn't have to have ALL the information we used in it, does it? Because I have things I will slightly reference and discuss but without typing out the entire idea again. Is that what the summary of evidence does, just provides background knowledge?
ReplyDeleteIf I get information from the history in dispute site, or questia, would that be considered as an e-book?
ReplyDeleteThey are both e-books but the history in dispute is an article with in a book so you need to site it differently.
ReplyDeleteGabby,
ReplyDeleteYour summary should include the absolute best evidence and should not include background information.
Okay, so my question is "To what extent did German decisions regarding submarine warfare affect the United State’s decision to enter World War I?"
ReplyDeleteDo I need to include the neutrality issue between the US and Great Britain?
Well did the neutrality issue impact German decisions and the US response? If you think it did then I would answer yes but you have limitted room but you need cover the whole question.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck
