The primary source essay should add footnotes on each page of your essay indicating how you used the specific sources listed in your bibliography. The primary source essay format should refer to History Style Manual.

Requirement: Primary Source Essay(20 % of course grade): This assignment will give you the opportunity to function as a historian. You will be presented with a range of primary sources dealing with the Canadian role in the battle for Passchendaele in 1917. These sources, which will be posted on the Brightspace website for this course, will include official reports, personal accounts, private letters, or other kinds of official and private documents. In addition, selections from secondary sources dealing with the Passchendaele offensive will be supplied to assist you in understanding the broader context and implications of the operation. These secondary sources may feature conflicting points of view. Using evidence found in the sources provided, you will construct an analytical essay focusing on the capture of Passchendaele on November 6, 1917. In addition to examining the course of the operation, the essay must attempt to answer the following two questions:

1) To what degree was the Canadian attack carefully organized and skillfully carried out?

2) Were the results of the attack worth the effort and the casualties?

I will upload the materials later, only use my materials to revise the essay, no internet sources.
