    Instructions

    • Ensure that the essay is based on the relevant primary and on the secondary sources of the course.
    • Before writing, spend time considering the language of the question you have chosen to answer. Do not think of the questions simply as prompts. Each question asks you to consider a particular historical problem. Each question requires you to respond to specific terms in which that problem is framed.
    • The essay should have a coherent and logical structure from beginning to end.
    • The opening should contain an outline of the general argument. Some kind of thesis statement
    • The essay should unfold in progressive stages divided into paragraphs of appropriate length and conclude properly.
    • Good conclusions briefly recapitulate the central points of an argument in order to show that the question has been sufficiently answered.
    • Each paragraph should be organized around an idea or theme or argument. It should not simply be a chronological narrative of events
    • Every claim made should be supported by proof derived principally from primary source material. The primary material is the textual basis of your historical evidence, and it must be cited accordingly.
    • In answering the question you have chosen, you will also always be expected to demonstrate knowledge of the secondary historiography you have been set. A capacity to describe the interpretations of the relevant modern historians, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of their positions and arguments, must be on display. The best answers to historical questions thread a path through existing interpretations in the light of the primary sources
    • The essay must be informed by the relevant material which is presented only in lectures. Failure to demonstrate learning from class will cost you grade points.
    • Clarity of expression is crucial, complex arguments are often best expressed in lucid, clear statements. Formulate your thoughts in a more straightforward language. You will be judged upon your ability not only to communicate your ideas and arguments accurately and grammatically but also fluently.

    Primary Source Analysis #1

    Due: Mon Feb 9, 2026 11:59pmDue: Mon Feb 9, 2026 11:59pm

    Ungraded, 0 Possible Points

    0 Points Possible

    For this assignment, you must bring together two to three different primary sources from Canvas. No outside sources are permitted. While you may incorporate a secondary source or two (say, Fatima El-Tayeb’s essay or Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s “Culture of Defeat”) in order to contextualize your analysis of the historical documents, the body of your work must focus heavily on the two to three primary sources.

    For this primary source analysis, you must examine historical documents from before February 9 (the deadline of submission) not after. So imagine, in other words, writing a primary source analysis that examines Rosa Luxemburg and Eduard Bernstein, for example, since that is something that we have already covered in class.

    In approximately 750 words, you must identify in exhaustive detail the creators of the primary sources, the reasons for their creation, a brief summary of their contents, an analysis of their implications, and an argument that connects the readings together. How do these documents work together in comparison or juxtaposed to each other? What do they reveal?

    We will be grading you according to this rubric Download rubric

    7. What inspired Jane Addams and the women who worked at Hull House to join the settlement

    house movement? Why did these middle and upper class, educated women choose to live in

    working class, immigrant neighborhoods? How did their work provide fulfillment and purpose in

    their lives? Do you think their work was more beneficial to the community or to themselves?

    Jane Addams and the women of Hull House were driven by a “subjective necessity” to bridge the gap between their privileged educations and the harsh realities of industrial America. Inspired by Londons Toynbee Hall, they moved into Chicagos 19th Ward to practice “social democracy,” believing that true reform required living as neighbors to the immigrants they served rather than practicing charity from a distance. This lifestyle provided these women with a vital escape from the “Family Claim”the era’s expectation that they remain idle household figuresoffering them instead a path toward professional fulfillment as social investigators and political activists. While the community gained life-changing resources like a day nursery, public baths, and legal aid, the movement was equally beneficial to the reformers themselves; it gave a “stolen” generation of educated women a public voice and a revolutionary sense of purpose long before they had the right to vote. This quote supports my answer remarkably well because it highlights the moral obligation both reformers felt to make their life experiences useful to the public –

    “Riiss work was written in the belief that every mans experience ought to be worth something to the community from which he drew it, no matter what that experience may be, so long as it was gleaned along the line of some decent, honest work. –

    3. Describe Riiss literary style. Does his writing style seem particularly journalistic? What was he trying

    to accomplish through this style of writing? Was he trying to just present the facts or do something else?

    Jacob Riis utilized a “muckraking” style that fused gritty, firsthand reporting with intense moral urgency. Rather than providing neutral observations, he used sensational language to shock the upper classes into recognizing the horrors of apartment life. He aimed to prove that filthy environments, rather than essential character flaws, were responsible for the “misery and vice” of the poor. Ultimately, his writing was a strategic tool for reform designed to provoke the moral resentment necessary to force immediate legislative change. Therefore, to support my answer, I will include –

    “Riis knew what it was to suffer, to starve, and to be homeless, and, though his prose was sometimes sensationalist and even occasionally prejudiced, he had what Roosevelt called “the great gift of making others see what he saw and feel what he felt.” –
