write a paper about “the Middle Ages” The topic could be anything that interests you in World history from Ancient times to the Renaissance. The topic must be relatively narrow in focus. For example, you will not be able to write a paper about “the Middle Ages” that is far too broad; try instead “the importance of the church in the early Middle Ages.” Be creative – this is your paper and should be about something that interests you. Begin this process by thinking about what interests you in your daily life; do you like art? Technology? Literature? Sports? Start with one of your interests and try to make a history topic out of it. This is a thesis driven paper meaning that you must have an argument. The instructor will provide approval or suggestions.
