II. Paper Topic Summary (1 Well-Developed Paragraph)

Provide a concise summary of your larger project in one paragraph. Understandably, the focus and content of your paper will change.

Here are some ideas to address in your summary (you do not have to address all these ideas or in this order):

Discuss the historical or contemporary background of your topic
Describe your topic in further depth and detail – Address the scope or parameters of your project.
Speculate what you think your research will reveal or illustrate
Address any other issues that are central to your examination or that you feel are pertinent
Describe the larger significance of your topic (ie: Why is your topic important?)
