This is to be researched and must include in-text citations and a separate bibliography in an MLA format. (the bibliography does not apply towards the overall page count) This should be written in a narrative form and not as bullet points. It should also follow proper research paper formatting and writing standards including paragraphs. Be sure that you are using legitimate sources. You WILL loose points for using sources like Wikipedia or other sources with user generated content. A general guiding principal for your research: If your source does not have an author, it’s probably not appropriate for a college level research paper unless it’s a database.
