Researching and Writing Your Analysis

  1. Find at least 3 “best” sources. With a wealth of sources available on the Internet, it is important to be able to distinguish between good sources and poor sources. The question then is, how do you know when a source is good or not-so-good? To learn the answer, review UC Berkeley’s How to Evaluate Internet Sources and the equally excellent Evaluating Web Sites: Criteria & Tools from the Olin and Uris Libraries at Cornell University. . You should also check out CCCOnline’s Library Document on the CRAP (Currency, Reliability, Authority, Purpose/Point of View).
  2. Write a 3 – 5 page double-spaced analytical essay. By definition an analytical essay is founded on an argumentative thesis, but includes informational elements. Review OWL Purdue Tips for Writing your Thesis Statement for specific examples and instructions on developing this thesis statement.  Your thesis statement should appear at the end of your introduction paragraph and act as the key to how to read your paper.
  3. In the body of your paper answer ALL of the following questions based on your research. You may answer more questions if you think of them, but these are the minimum.  Use your evidence to complete this task by incorporating quotations or paraphrasing from your “best” sources.
    • Where is/was the ancient wonder located in the world?
    • Why was it built and did the purpose of the structure change over time?
    • Do remains of the ancient wonder still exist today? What condition are they in? Can people visit the site?
    • What are the significant features of the structure?
    • What is it made of and how was the structure built?
  4. Once you have introduced the ancient wonder, analyze its significance in history and now. What did the wonder mean to the people of the past? Does the structure still have meaning today for the people from that culture?
  5. Include a few images of the ancient wonder from today and/or pictures depicting what it might have looked like in use. (Alternatively you may submit your images in an accompanying presentation, but all work including images must be cited in one of the approved styles (APA, MLA or Chicago Style for Humanities).
  6. Remember to be very descriptive. You are arguing that this ancient wonder deserves to be put on the top Seven Ancient Wonders of the World list and why, based on your research.
  7. Include a properly formatted bibliography in one of the approved formats. You must have at least your three “best” sources in addition to your image sources. Don’t forget all intellectual property must be credited and this includes images.
