      Awesome! I have gotten a bit lazy about reading my textbooks already and I can’t imagine how you would survive all the books you have to get through for the exams. 😵‍💫

    Hello All! this video is intended for those who are looking for a beginners guide to history essay writing. While I don't cover citations, where to find sources, etc. in this video, please let me know if this is something you would like to see! I would love to create more history-related content in the future and would love to know what would be most helpful for you.
    Disclaimer: I am not an expert, simply a PhD student figuring out my own practice as a historian in training, sharing my insights.

    Hi Kaelyn, just wanted to thank you for this video. I used your suggestions, particularly the for the introduction's hook and historiography survey, on my senior capstone. My professor said my paper was gripping and "absolutely fascinating" to read. Of course the joy of a capstone is that I got to choose topic I was passionate about, but going with your tips helped me craft a strong introduction! My research has also been accepted for presentation next month at my university's research week! Thanks for your videos :D

    Kaelyn, thanks for coming up with this video - this is super helpful! I have one suggestion - would you be able to read your essay (if you could at least the introduction, one body paragraph and the conclusion, then it will put things into context). I'm hoping to recommend this to my students too

    What is the writing tablet and the app that you are using around 10:02? It looks really useful and I like how there is a grid visible on the tablet to help to make writing easier and neater. It looks so nice!

    Would this work as a topic for an essay about mythological events described in myths? I'm doing a pre-flood history essay for school and there isn't much evidence for that since 1. there weren't many people who believed in a flood and 2. there isn't much-written history outside of the bible and the book of Enoch (I apologize for bringing up a religious example, but it was necessary for me to make a specific point.)

    Do you ever utilize audio books? During a meeting about comps, another classmate stated they mainly use audio books and jot down notes. I'm not a fast reader and like to physically have the book, but I wonder if it's a common technique. Thank you for the many helpful hints for writing a history essay!!
