Instructions
The assignment below is the prewriting assignment required for credit in the
second writing workshop. It is due by Wednesday, May 13th by 11am. Fill
out the form and submit it when complete. You can edit it after you have
submitted it, and you should receive a copy of your responses for your own
use.
This assignment is meant to prepare you for the second, required paper in
History 20W. It covers breaking down the prompt and sources, crafting a
thesis, using evidence, and structuring paragraphs, all of which will be
developed in the writing workshop.
II. Breaking Down the Prompt: Finding the Subject and Context
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.
1. There are two main questions at the beginning of the prompt that are the
main focus of the paper. What are they? *
Your answer
2. Restate these questions in your own words *
3. Using information from the first paragraph in the prompt: what do you
think the goal of this paper is? *
Your answer
4. List the possible subjects that you have to analyze for this paper.
Remember – your subject will always be a who (as in a person or
institution) or a what (as in an thing or idea). *
Your answer
5. Define the terms, “Assumptions” and “Priorities,” and explain why they
are important to this paper. *
Your answer
6. List the possible context of your subjects. Remember – context is the
parameters that define when/how you analyze your subjects. Often
historians will base the context around the “when” and “where” of their
primary sources. *
Your answer
III. Crafting a Claim: Drafting a preliminary thesis statement
Consider the questions of the prompt from above and think about how you might answer
them. Remember a good thesis answers a why or how question.
1. List three other global issues the U.S. was involved in around the same
time as the Chilean task force. *
Your answer
2. How was Chile connected to the other global forces at this time? What
did the U.S. “assume” about Chile’s impact on the global stage? *
Your answer
3. What was the result of the Chilean task force? *
Your answer
4. In one to two sentences: Why do you think the CIA created a task force
focused on Chile and how does that connect to their assumptions and
conceptions? *
Your answer
IV. Breaking Down the Sources: Close Reading Analysis
Consider the close reading process you used to break down Freud and use the same
close reading techniques as you read the CIA’s report.
Sourcing the Text: Think about the author, artist, or writer and the creation
of the primary source. Who created it? When? Why was it created? For
what purpose? Who is the audience? What information is provided by the
source? Summarize it. How trustworthy is this source? *
Your answer
Close Reading: Carefully consider what the document says and the
language used to say it. Note interesting words or phrases and why you
think they are important. How do the authors organize their ideas? Think
about major points made in the beginning, middle, and end . What
consistent ideas, themes, or motifs does the author use? Consider
contextual clues about time, place, or people; identify and explain any
questions, facts, assumptions/arguments, and priorities/purposes of the
text. *
Your answer
Contextualizing: Situate the source in time and place. What major events,
themes, or peoples distinguish the era or period in which the source was
created? What does the source reveal about the period or its audience? *
Your answer
Corroborating: What other sources are there that shed light on this subject?
What do they say? Do the documents agree? Are they reliable? What other
evidence supports or disputes the conclusions/interpretations you have
made about the main source? (Hint: Your only corroborating evidence
comes from lecture and the extra background essay. You cannot and should
not use other outside sources.) *
Your answer
V. Using and Incorporating Evidence
Use the information from above to think about what you need to prove and the type of
evidence you need to support your argument.
1. Think about the prompt’s subquestions and how you might answer them.
Pick one subquestion and find a quote in the CIA Report that responds to
it. State which question you picked, and copy the quote – make sure to
cite! *
Your answer
2. Explain how your quote responds to the subquestion. *
Your answer
3. How does the quote you picked above support your answer for question
#4 in Section III? What CIA assumptions and conceptions does it reveal?
What priorities does it reveal? *
Your answer
4. Describe the context of this quote. Where/when does it come from in the
text? Restate the quote in your own words. *
Your answer
5. Describe the subject of the quote. What is the quote about? What is the
main idea? What are some interesting words or phrases that you note? *
Your answer
