The Proposal: In at least 500 words, tell me your plan. 1) What is your theme of topic? 2) Why did you select that theme or topic? 3) Describe, in detail, the two assignments you will use, 4) Include at least five specific sources (at least two of which cannot be the textbooks, American Perspectives, or my lectures). Be detailed. Potential themes of topics can be found in Attachment A of the syllabus. You must focus your theme sufficiently so that you can cover the topic in the parameters of the assignments. Every assignment will include a Bibliography page. A bibliography is a list of sources used, alphabetically, by the last name of the author. For example: THIS IS THE ARTICLE FOR THE READINGS AND CITATIONS. http://sageamericanhistory.net/twenties_depr_newdeal/index.html http://sageamericanhistory.net/worldpower/index.html http://historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnwarhea14.html http://historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnselhel15.html other followings: Citations: For the majority of assignments you will use is the Chicago Manual of Style. CMS is a footnote style used in History classes. An e handout entitled “How to Cite” is part of your reading assignment in the “How to Pass” module. A few assignments have you using a parenthetical citation method. Students who fail to cite using the required method will receive a grade of 69 or lower. Students who fail to cite at all will be given a 59 or lower. See definitions of grades below.
