1) Find a person in the ODNB who intrigues or interests you. Your choices should vary by occupation, sex, and status, and Your person must have lived between 1625 and 1688 and lived in the British Isles. Try to find someone that the textbook omits or mentions only briefly: avoid the heavily discussed people such as kings. You can search in the text of all entries to target ideas/topics that interest you within a given set of dates: for example, you can search for “abbess” within the era 800-1100, or try “witch” between 1400-1688. Be creative and enjoy the journey. 2) This person will serve as the main topic of your essay. Your essay will explain the person’s significance that led to inclusion in the ODNB by addressing this question: “What importance did ONE of the following influences, a) family, or b) education, or c) religion, have in the person’s life that enabled her/him to achieve?” The answer to this question is the thesis of your essay and will shape its analysis. Have the thesis in your first paragraph, and then write supporting paragraphs that explain and justify your argument. End with a conclusion paragraph. 3) Include the citation to the entry: the name of the author who wrote the entry, the title of the entry (usually the subject’s full name), and ODNB. There is a link with each entry that provides the citation format if you wish to use it. I want your paper only to draw from the ODNB, so please do no further research or use other sources.
