1) 1000 word essay in response to the writing prompt. 2) Answer the question directly in a carefully framed THESIS STATEMENT, expressed in one or two sentences in your first paragraph. 3) Essay must make use of direct PRIMARY source evidence from the assigned reading at least FIVE times, this evidence must be properly formatted, and these must include at least ONE quotation and at least ONE citation. 4) write the essay that your supporting evidence really does support your claims. 5) Writing Prompt: “Women and Wives in ancient Athens”: From your reading of either Lysistrata or the extracts from Xenophon, Sermonides, and Aristotle, describe the ancient Athenian understanding of women and marriage. In your discussion, explain the proper social roles for women, the differences between women and men, and the purposes for marriage. How and why were these different from how we in the U.S. view women and marriage today? 6) The thesis of an essay is the main historical point that its writer is trying to prove – if the essay responds to a question, a thesis must answer that question. All satisfactory history essays must have some sort of thesis. In general, it is a good idea to have a thesis statement in the essay’s first paragraph that lets the reader know, as soon as possible, what argument the paper will make. 7) Note that citations are easy to use (because they are just a few words at the end of the sentence), but that quotations are trickier. It is up to you as the author to let your reader know what a given quotation means in the context of your paper. Do not let quotations “speak for themselves,” but take the initiative and explain what they mean. 8) See more in attached word documents for instructions and references 9) emphasis that the primary source evidence provided must be used at least 5 times and formatted properly with at least 1 citation and 1 quotation.
