I need a paper with abstract (summary). Abstract needs to be tuned in on 12/25/22 and final work needs to be turned in on 1/4/23.
This is proffessor’s note with instructions:
“Mid-Session Proposal:
You may write your paper on a person, event, or theme within the
timeframe of this course. You should attempt to associate the subject of your paper with one or
more of the themes and issues that are addressed during this course of study. Be creative, choose
a topic that you find interesting but has not been done numerous times before, and narrow your
search: instead of a paper on the Civil Rights Movement, choose a specific theme or aspect of the
movement or its ideology. Do not give me a regurgitation of facts. Identify and stress your
historical question: this is your paper’s “So what” factor. Move beyond a grand encyclopedia
entry and seek the larger importance of your subject matter.
The first task will be picking a suitable topic. Please keep in mind that an appropriate topic is
important because it gets you interested in your paper but for most of the class, the larger
problem is a refinement of the proposed topic. Next, begin to refine your questions. Try and pick
a historical question that opens a new dialog or opens up other historians’ findings on your topic.
The question (your thesis) should not be too broad, nor should it be too specific because you only
have a limited amount of time to complete this paper (during this session). Finally, pick a
question or thesis that explores the historical aspects of your topic. Think of your topic as a
complete study (or a book): please pick one of the chapters that would appear in that book.
Narrow your question again. Pick a region, specific event, or sub-theme that will help you reach
the time and amount restrictions for our class.
Please submit a summary (or abstract) of your paper including historical questions (dilemmas)
and possible sources for approval by SUNDAY 12/25/22 by 11:59 PM (the earlier the better by
running your ideas by me via email). This abstract should be AT LEAST 150 words along with
at least 3 sources that will support your topic.
Final Paper:
Based on your approved Mid-Session Proposal, each student will submit a
research paper based on some aspect of African American history. The research paper should be
a MINIMUM OF 500 WORDS (2 pages, 12-point font, Times New Roman, and double-spaced
not including your bibliography/works cited page. You will be required to have at least 3 sources
recorded on your bibliography/works cited page as well. Your final papers are DUE
WEDNESDAY 1/4/23 by 11:59 PM.”
