HAPP—Historical Context

It will take three sentences to cover the HAPP requirement effectively.

  • Sentence 1: Incorporate the document.
      • Identify the speaker or author.
      • Accurately describe the main idea from the document (relevant to the question being asked). This should be a description, not a quotation.
      • End with a document tag, e.g., [Doc. 4]
  • Sentence 2: Identify the historical context for the document.
  • Sentence 3: Explain how all of this supports either the dependent clause or the main clause of your thesis.

NOTE: Sentence 1 and 2 are interchangeable.
