Introductory paragraph should include the following:
a. Clarification about the issue (monument controversy not easily addressed by regional cultures, history,
community government, or among historians). You may want to dedicate 1-3 sentences to help the
reader understand the extent of this controversy. A quote from a participant in the controversy makes
for an interesting opening statement.
b. Clarification about the two sites you will contrast. Where are these two locations?
Clarification about what the essay will conclude. (WRITE THIS STATEMENT LAST, AFTER YOU KNOW
WHAT YOUR EVIDENCE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO SUPPORT. RESEARCH WILL TAKE YOU IN NEW
DIRECTIONS SO DO NOT SET OUT TO PROVE YOUR CURRENT POSITION.)
i. Ex: This essay will demonstrate that preserving monuments is most supported by historians
ii. Ex: This essay will demonstrate that public history personnel should modify future instillations to
meet certain expectations
iii. Ex: This essay will conclude that not enough evidence has been gathered from communities
where new monument policies have been implemented
iv. Ex: This essay will demonstrate that scholar 'X' has presented objective solutions
Ex: This essay will argue monuments are a form of free speech and should not be altered
vi. Ex: This essay will conclude that monuments representing antiquated values should be moved
to privately-funded spaces, rather than publicly-funded sites.
