RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
You will write a Research Paper on a chosen topic in the colonial era (based on your earlier Research Proposal). The topic possibilities are broad, but the final product needs to be on a narrow, specific topic. For example, you cannot cover a persons entire life in 15 pages. Therefore, if you write on a particular person, it must be about a key event or happening in that persons life (not a general biography). The final paper must be based on research that is primary source and must include academic secondary sources as well.
