Assignment task: The student will write a 7-page research-based paper in the current Turabian format. The paper will include a title page and a bibliography, neither of which is part of the 5-to-7-page length requirement.
A clear thesis that answers a historically significant question(s).
Be based on at least five sources, including primary sources, scholarly sources, and web-based academic sources.
Sources consulted for this project are to be academic in nature. This means you are to consult books and journal articles written by scholars that have been peer-reviewed and academic websites, usually designated by edu and org. The following sources are not regarded as academic in nature and are not eligible for use: Wikipedia, About.com, encyclopedias, textbooks, "popular" websites such as brainyquote.com, goodreads.com, and history.com. Also, websites alone are not sufficient for doing research. You need to consult academic books and journal articles to do a thorough job of research.
Written in the active voice, past tense. Use block quotations only sparingly, if at all. Always integrate quotations into your own words rather than use them as independent sentences. Cite your evidence often.
Students use the Turabian Notes - Bibliography citation style. You must use footnotes with the Turabian footnote citation style within the paper.
