Assignment:
I would like each student to choose one aspect of material culture to research and explore. This may require research to be conducted in the Beaton Institute archives, as well as in the library. This could be a detailed study of one type of material culture and its role and function in people's lives. The key to a good research paper is to keep your focus narrow to fully understand the topic you are exploring. Make sure to include footnotes or endnotes and a bibliography in your final research paper. You may use any format for doing your references.
