Writing History: A Guide for Studentsby William Kelleher Storey

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Simple intro, December 13, 2005 Reviewer:Will (MerryLand, USA) - This book is fairly short (111 pgs with not a lot of print on them,) but is a great introduction to writing for history classes. It doesn't go into lots of detail, it is very basic. It was helpful in figuring out "What on earth should I write about?" "How do I make a thesis?" all the way to finishing a history paper.
Book Description
Bringing together practical methods from both history and composition, Writing history provides a wealth of tips and advice to help students research and write essays for history classes. The book covers all aspects of writing about history, including finding topics and researching them,
interpreting source materials, drawing inferences from sources, and constructing arguments. It concludes with three chapters that discuss writing effective sentences, using precise wording, and revising. Using numerous examples from the works of cultural, political, and social historians, Writing
History serves as an ideal supplement to history courses that require students to conduct research. The second edition includes expanded sections on plagiarism, interviewing, and topic selection, as well as new sections on searching and using the Internet.
