Writer’s choice
Answer one of the following two essays. Not both! Select A or B.
(A) Tell the story of the conflict between the two groups that struggled for control of México from the fighting years of the Revolution to the year 1940. Of course, explain in what ways and why a certain president was the most “social revolutionary” of them all.
(B) Use developmentalist and functionalist analysis to explain in detail the political-social history of México from 1940 to 2 OCT 1968.
Directions:
(1) Use size 12 font (easy to read like Times Roman), double space, and one-inch margins (top, bottom and sides). No cover sheet. On the top of the document, type your name, HIST 230, class time (12:30 or 5:30) and which 2 essays you are writing on (A,B or C).
(2) (3) Each essay should be between about 3.5 pages to 5 pages in length depending on the subject. You will be giving examples and explaining, not just mentioning information.
(3) Introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
(4) I want you to use detailed examples even if you feel that you are writing too much or getting wordy. I would rather read more than less. Focus on explaining information. Break it down. Write in organized coherent paragraphs. Remember that you are explaining the reasons by telling a story. And be sure to answer the prompt. Do not invent your own question.
(5) Use the handouts and the notes that you took down from my PowerPointed lectures. Do not use online or any other sources. Also, you do not have to use citations, like for a research paper. Do not include parenthetical references and works cited page (MLA style). These are not research papers.
