An additional document = the missing voice. Remember; ALWAYS provide 3 missing voices regardless of the question. If you are stuck on OSI, that’s OK! Use context clues and dates to help you out. You know more than you think you do!

For all of the essays, your thesis must include the date and the specific points being addressed

(Must be no more than 2 sentences at the end of your intro)! The dates and events mentioned in the questions are your clues for your OSI! You cannot use/copy the historical context.

Remember to address the changes and continuities EVENLY!

ALWAYS address the global context. What was going on during this time around the world?!
