The core assignment of this course is a documented research paper (1500-2000 words in length = approx. 6-8 pages double-spaced, 12-point font). If you are under the word count (1500 minimum), your grade will be drastically reduced. On your essay, if it is under the required minimum, your grade will start at the percentage you complete. Headings and works cited do not count in the word count. The paper should support a thesis statement with information gained from research or investigation.The paper will not be just a report presenting information but will be a paper that carefully examines and presents your own historical interpretation of the topic you have chosen and your interpretation of the information you have gathered.The paper may include consideration of problems and solutions, define key terms, and refute arguments against your thesis statement. Use quotes to support your arguments (not make arguments for you). It will be important to choose a topic of interest to you. Here are some research questions to get you started.

(This is a thesis-finding approach.)Once you have found your thesis, write the paper to support it.You will use some of the following critical thinking skills in this process:Choosing an appropriate topic, limiting the topicGathering information, summarizing sourcesAnalyzing and evaluating sourcesDefining key termsSynthesizing information, comparing and contrasting sourcesTesting a thesis, making a historical argument, using refutationAmassing support for a positionDocumenting sourcesBecause this may be a longer paper than you have written before and a complex process is involved, it is recommended that you complete this paper using the following steps:Choose a topic related to U.S. History up to 1877 (Chapters 1-15) that you would truly like to explore and that you are willing to spend some time on.
