This week, you will see a link below. This is for you to submit a good, solid draft of your final essay to TurnItIn.com for an originality check. You can still make changes to your paper based on feedback from TurnItin, feedback from our Writing Center, or feedback from other people who read your draft. However, this needs to be a full draft of your final paper.
You will be able to see the report. A score of 10% to 20% is typical. You will find matches for titles and references. Also, you will see matches for stray phrases and such. That is okay. By the way, quotes show up as matches, too. Most students who use quotes end up quoting far too much. Rarely is it necessary for students to quote their sources. Trust your own voice to summarize, analyze, and synthesize in your own words.
When you look at the report from TurnItIn, pay special attention to any sentences or paragraphs that match. And look for passages where you relied too much on the words of your sources. That is not okay; you need to use your own words when writing your paper. If you see those sorts of problems, then fix them and resubmit your paper. The best advice I can give is: Do not submit your paper in the first place if you know that you copied and pasted from sources. That is plagiarism.
Questions about plagiarism? Our Writing Center is ready and willing to assist you.

The primary source mini-essays are intended to introduce students to the importance of using primary sources in history. While historians often use primary sources only as evidence, this assignment asks that we pay close attention to a primary source, reflect on it and, using our historical knowledge of the context as well as our imaginations, see what stories it might be telling us. 
For this week’s assignment, the primary source is a leaflet, based on a sermon, and illustrated by J. W. Benbough, for the Dominion Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Trade. It was probably produced in 1898 for the Dominion referendum on national prohibition, but the information we have is pretty limited. Here is the  document document – Alternative Formats , and here is a link to where it is hosted: https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.08204/1
What kinds of assumptions does the leaflet make about the reader, their life, and their values? What arguments does it make? To what extent are these religious or political arguments? How does the leaflet try to motivate the reader to care about other people’s drinking? How are Canadians implicated in the liquor trade, even if they themselves don’t drink? 
The mini-essay should have an essay structure (i.e. several paragraphs, plus an introductory and a concluding paragraph that convey a central claim or argument), and be 750-1000 words or three-five pages in length. The mini-essays should rely on course content (i.e. lectures and the textbook) for evidentiary support, and should not involve external research.
Referencing should be in Chicago, with footnotes and a bibliography.
