The essay is worth 60% of the block grade, and providing evidence in your writing is a REQUIREMENT. 2. Make sure you are answering the question being asked. Read the question thoroughly. 3. Do not provide a simple summation to the question. You must write an argumentative essay, and hence argue your point of view supported by specific examples and/or theory from the H100 block of lessons. 4. Demonstrate your ability to use history as a tool for informing military judgment. 5. Use the Turabian style of documentation to cite your sources.

Do not use Wikipedia or other uncontrolled internet sources as they are not subject to the same level of scholarly review or fact checking. Wikipedia is NOT reliable for academic research.
