Instructions
For
this assignment, you will create a single document including three sections.
Section
1: Primary Source Notes
Choosing
what you now believe are your two most critical piece of primary
evidence, write a note on it. This
includes the four main components listed above (subject, location, summary, and
analysis). Make sure you include enough information to write a Turabian
citation and indicate somehow if this is a quotation or paraphrase. Also be
sure to include your analysis of the source, which is an explanation of why you
took the note in the first place.
Section
2: Secondary Source Note
Choose
two important scholarly source for your argument. Provide the four critical components but also
focus upon why you chose this source and how it supports your main thesis or
argument of the paper. Explain why the scholar producing the source is a
credible authority on this subject.
Section
3: Outline of a Paragraph or Section Using The Sources Above
This
is not an outline for your paper. Rather
it is an outline about one aspect of the argument you make to answer your
research question. It might be an
outline of one paragraph, a section, or one potential page of your paper
showing the relationship between the information found in the sources above to
the overall argument of your research project. The outline should include:
·
Topic
sentence or argument
·
List
of the key subpoints
·
List
of the main primary and secondary evidence used to support it
·
Analysis
of how the evidence supports the subpoints that should then support the key
argument for the paragraph, page, or section.
Thus
you will list, summarize, and analyze primary and secondary sources pertaining
to your chosen research topic.
Note:
Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism
tool.
I will post an example of what the assignment should look like below.
