Your essay should:

● 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.

paragraphs). Refer to example essay provided on Canvas.

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.
