Your paper must include the
following:
1. A clear thesis that answers a historically significant
question. You are now to answer the questions you and your instructor raised
about your topic.
2. Be based on
primary sources with significant support from secondary, scholarly interpretations.
You will mainly use primary sources and a slightly smaller number of secondary
sources. The sources must be a good mix of evidence, and the secondary
sources must be
drawn from both books and articles. A minimum of 20 sources must be
used. Half must be primary sources.
3. A strong
narrative that marshals the evidence in a systematic manner to support the
thesis.
4. Significant
engagement with professional interpretations of the background or specific
topic you researched.
This means you explain where some of your secondary source historians are
coming from in terms of the schools of interpretation covered in the
historiography assignment. You may also
use the lengthy historiographical footnote if applicable.
5. Grammatically
correct with current
Turabian citations for all sources. You must use
footnotes with Turabian
footnote citation style within the paper. Then, you must use
the bibliographic format you practiced in this course for the final

originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
