Themed” Research paper of a word minimum of 2000 words, which will be worth 80 points and is due 5/9 before 11:59 pm. A list of historical themes has been provided below and you may choose any theme as the basis for your paper. You will pick one event, topic, or a person, etc. of historical importance from each of the 3 grading periods and write a themed research paper based on your 3 selections, comparing and contrasting each of the 3 subjects of your choice under the theme you have chosen. You are required to use a minimum of 6 scholarly sources for your research – NO WIKIPEDIA PERMITTED in citations. Your minimum 6 scholarly sources may include the course text book, extra source materials, my powerpoints and/or lectures (I only count once), but it is not required. You MUST use 2 primary documents as part of your 6 sources. You may of course use more than 6 sources. You must quote each of your sources at least once in your paper, using it to support your analytical writing and citing your sources appropriately according to a writing style guide, either parenthetically or footnoted. A properly formatted Works Cited or Bibliography must also be included. Remember, this is a research paper based on a theme I have provided so you must address that theme throughout the paper. This paper is worth 80 points and is due SATURDAY 5/9/2015 before 11:59 pm. Remember, I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK so you have to turn it in on time to earn credit. I have also attached a sample Themed Research paper as an example of a well done paper.
