The research paper should be at least 6 pages in length. It should be double-spaced, typed in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins. Your paper should have Chicago style footnotes and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources (bibliography not included in the page count).
Remember that your paper must have a thesis, a central argument or main point that you state in your introduction and then work to demonstrate using evidence from your primary and secondary sources. Keeping your thesis in mind throughout your paper will help you to write clearly and concisely. Also, be sure to proofread your paper before you turn it in and to take into account my feedback on your rough draft.
Rough draft due March 31st (roughly four pages)
