A quick note on the Essay Project.
As mentioned previously in class:
Identify a specific topic from our readings that you will analyze in your essay. Develop a thesis and argumentation. This will allow you to review what you have already studied and develop research about a topic that interests you.
Employ at least one of our assigned readings that we have covered in class. You can use any of the recommended readings available, which are there to provide support.
Make sure that you write an analysis rather than just a review of a book or historical event.
You can use any of the academic formats (MLA, IP, Chicago, …)
Include works cited section in which you list the academic sources that you have employed.
