Your essay should:
● Introduce your research question and thesis.
● Utilize scholarly and primary sources to support your thesis. Do not just summarize the
sources, you need to synthesize them to create a narrative in support of your thesis.
● Describe the limitations of your sources or gaps in information/knowledge.
● If necessary, discuss the bias/perspective of your sources.
● A conclusion that demonstrates how your research supports your thesis.
● Follow conventions of formal academic writing in English.
● Follow basic essay structure (There should be a logical flow between sentences and
paragraphs). Refer to example essay provided on Canvas.
● Be carefully proofread for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and other mechanical errors.
● Include proper Chicago Style footnote citations and bibliography.
● Use a minimum of three scholarly secondary sources and three primary sources. You
can use more! That’s just the minimum.
Requirements:
Title and Title Page
Minimum for credit is 1000 words. I am more concerned about high quality writing than
about the paper’s length. Do not write “fluff” to make the paper longer. Likewise, your
paper is not complete or finished just because you hit the minimum word count.
Properly formatted Chicago Style footnotes and bibliography.
Minimum three scholarly sources and three primary sources.
The paper will be submitted in Times New Roman font. 12 pt font for the body text and
10 pt font for footnotes.
Legible composition and formatting.
Submitted as a doc, docx, rtf, or pdf. file.
