Today I taught my history students how to write a history paper. I adopted some handouts from my writing classes and we went over how to structure a paper (introduction, thesis, body paragraphs with quotes, conclusion), how to use quotes and how to cite. And I made try to cite their sourcebook in class – some find citation format incredibly hard even with the handout in front of them.

So I spent the morning putting all the handouts together and finding an article for Ancient Greece to put online for them. I settled on the article on ideas of leisure and idleness in Ancient Greece.
