HIS 229: Midterm Write fоur tо five well-develоped pаrаgrаphs on any one question of your choice listed below. Write four to five well-developed paragraphs (introduction, which is typically one paragraph; a middle section of two to three paragraphs; and a conclusion, which is typically one paragraph) on any one question of your choice listed on the midterm. The exact questions in the study guide will appear on the midterm. Students will have 180 minutes to complete the midterm.  I suggest proofreading and citing your sources; in an exam, in-text citations are acceptable, e.g. (Stuart, p. 23). Important: for all coursework, whether discussions or exams, students are allowed to use only sources provided within the workbook, the workbook itself, in content, or in a discussion thread, unless otherwise approved by me at least one week before an assignment or exam is due. This clarification is necessary on allowed sources so that the resources that are consulted have already been vetted and reviewed by me and also by students through the workbook, and has been already used to complete coursework. Cite your sources throughout your response, by referring to them in-text, using one of two examples: cite the workbook itself (Adele-Marie, 2025, the year of publication or the page number in the coure content materials) or you can be specific by citing the author of the sub-source as contained within the content units; example: (Kanala, year of publication – if known - or page number). Examples: (Adele-Marie, 2025) or (Adele-Marie, p. 36) or (Kanala, 2021) or (Kanala, p. 457). Consult with the course material and connect your narrative with the readings/lecture/textbook. Stay in chronological order when constructing the response. I have added the "Helpful guide to prepare for essay exams" page found at: Writing Tips and Tools I look forward to reviewing your work. Reach out via Brightspace D2L instant message if you have any questions or concerns. Reminder: since the midterm and final are essay exams, these need to be manually graded by me before a score is released; D2L will automatically score it at 0 until I review and release your grade. Examination Questions for Midterm, select any one question from questions one or two: 1. Explain the origins and evolution of the word genocide. How did Raphael Lemkin’s work influence the legal and historical understanding of genocide, and how is this reflected in the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention? Explain the Convention and how it works to identify, intervene, and stop genocide, and include its involvement in how genocide is prosecuted. What are the ten stages of genocide and how do these stages work in terms of how government agencies like the UN respond to genocides that have occurred or are occurring? 2. Compare and contrast at least two historical genocides from units one and two. Discuss the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to each, the methods used, and the international response. Propaganda and its use may also be included. Ensure that discussion on the ten stages of genocide is included (note: not all stages are always present, so you can focus on discussion two to three stages as long as the response is connective to the genocides that are being analyzed and written on.   All essays will be checked through Turnitin and will be assessed on: Grading criteria • Argument: 30% Does your paper have a clear, singular, specific argument that answers the question? • Evidence: 30% Do you use all relevant evidence to defend your argument, and have you cited your sources? • Organization: 20% Does your paper have a logical structure and use clear topic sentences and transitions? • Clarity: 20% Is your prose efficient, crisp, and polished, free of excessive passive voice or distracting spelling or grammatical errors?
