Mr. Walters
Essay #2: Thematic Essay (EC): Nationalism
Theme: Nationalism
Nationalism has been both a uniting and a dividing force.
Task:
• Define the term “nationalism.”
• Select two nations or regions you have studied [in Global History] and for each nation or region explain the historical circumstances which led to the rise in nationalism in that nation or region.
• For each nation or region you selected, explain how nationalism divided or united that nation or region. You may use a different outcome (unification or division) for each nation or region.
NOTES for Global students:
This assignment will be completed in two parts. The first part requires you to complete an outline/graphic organizer that will serve as an organizational pre-writing activity. The outline/graphic organizer must:
• Identify a central theme (the title or topic of task: in this case, “Nationalism”).
• Under the central theme, write out your complete thesis. The thesis should be written in sentence form and will be the exact one you will use for the essay version of this task. The thesis can be more than one sentence.
• Branch from central theme to main ideas (according to the bullets of the task).
• Add levels of thesis-supporting evidence and analysis from the main ideas.
• Assignment must have a task-appropriate organization and visually appealing flow
(color or shading may be used to enhance eye flow).
• Outline should have your name and period listed in an easy-to-see location.
• The outline may be hand-written.
• Attach “Outline Rubric (CT)”––on which the assignment will assessed––to the front of your completed outline/graphic organizer.
The second part is completing the actual written essay. The essay must be submitted traditionally (hard copy) with a Thematic Essay (EC) rubric attached to the front. In order to be scored, your essay also must be uploaded to turnitin.com. The upload to turnitin.com should be done before you come to
