THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT WRITING IN THE HUMANITIES

Choose at least two projects or assignments you have written for different disciplines in the humanities—say, history and film. Reread these papers with an eye to their similarities. What features do they have in common? Do they use similar methods of analysis and value similar kinds of evidence, for instance? In what ways do they differ? Based on your analysis, what conclusions can you draw about these two disciplines?
