Thesis: Present a thesis that makes a historically defensible claim and responds to all parts of the question. The thesis must consist of one or more sentences located in one place, either in the introduction or the conclusion.
Critical Thinking: Develop and support an argument that applies historical thinking skills as directed by the question.
Supporting Evidence: Utilize specific examples of evidence to fully and effectively substantiate the stated thesis or a relevant argument.
Enduring Impact: Extend the argument by explaining the connections between the argument and one of the following:
-A development in a different historical period, situation, era, or geographical area
-A course theme and/or approach to history that is not the focus of the essay (such as political, economic, social, cultural, or intellectual history)
This is the topic in which I need to be answered and a thesis written for.
What role did the Catholic Church play in the Middle Ages & Renaissance eras. How did the church react to the publication of Luthers 95 Theses? Who was Martin Luther, and why did he protest against the Catholic Church? How did the spread of his ideas lead to the Reformation, and do you believe this would have been possible if the Printing Press had not been invented?
