Information+on+the+Rough+Outline,+etc.

For the outline/thesis/etc. assignment due on Tue Jan 22 (Block C) or Wed Jan 23 (Block G), please do the following:
 * print it out, have it ready to turn in at the beginning of class
 * (1) Include your name and research question
 * (2) Write your thesis statement
 * Remember that (a) your thesis statement should directly answer the research question and (b) that it should be based on some research that you have already completed. Don't write your thesis before doing research! (Otherwise, it becomes a hypothesis)


 * (3) Include a rough outline. The outline can be written using bullet points. It does not have to be detailed, but it should include:
 * Intro Paragraph
 * Idea for hook/transition to main point
 * Main Arguments
 * Include at least 2 bullet points under each main argument that provide supporting details
 * Conclusion
 * Idea for conclusion


 * (4) Include a working bibliography. While you can add/delete sources later, the sources listed here must:
 * meet the requirements mentioned in the research paper description (3+ books, 3+ primary sources, no more than 2 secondary sources, no encyclopedia-type entries)
 * be written in proper Chicago Style format. This will help you down the road as you won't have to reformat the source information into Chicago Style closer to the deadline.
