Guided Essay:
1. Start with an introduction: this should be at least 3-5 sentences that summarize the main idea behind your essay. You will identify which topic you selected and make your main point.
2. Next you move into the body of your essay. Here you will write at least 3 paragraphs that outline specific evidence supporting your main point.
3. Finally, wrap it all up in a nice conclusion. This will be at least 3-5 sentences that summarizes your main point and evidence. Do not just repeat your introduction or use exact sentences from your body paragraphs.
4. Finish with references! Now that you’ve had some practice with APA formatting, be sure to provide references in that format. Refer to Essay 1 if you still need help with this.
As you choose a topic, remember these broad dates to frame the various time periods:
Scientific Revolution: 16th and 17th centuries
Second Scientific Revolution: 19th and early 20th centuries
