To Start:Take time with researching your topic/event, using your chosen source and any additional materials that might be helpful to better understand it. Once you have a grasp, do your best to accomplish the following.Component One: Write an IntroductionThis component involves writing a brief introduction as if you were going to write a research paper about your topic. Your introduction should introduce the topic for your audience, providing any essential background information and context. This includes identifying any central figures or defining any key ideas. It should also provide a sense of direction for your approach to it. In other words, what aspect of the topic would your theoretical paper focus on? It should conclude with some form of thesis statement or argument about the topic. There are no specific criteria for your thesis/argument, but it should provide a summative sense of focus for the theoretical research paper/a conclusion about the topic that you want your reader to take away.                The Introduction should:

• Be a single paragraph with an absolute minimum of five sentences (it will almost certainly take more sentences to accomplish the task successfully)
• Provide a focused sense of direction in relationship to the topic
• Demonstrate a clear understanding of the topic and its place within the larger historical context

Component Two: Complete Source Analysis:Rather than write body paragraphs as you would in a normal research paper, you will simply be completing a brief analysis of your source (from PART I of the project). Keep in mind that this is distinct from summarizing your source. You are not summarizing what your source says but analyzing it in a deeper way.To complete your analysis, address the following three prompts in short-answer responses:

1. What perspective does the author take in dealing with your project? (i.g. on what aspect of it do they focus? Examples could include economic, racial, political, or cultural perspectives. It may also be more specific to your chosen topic). Explain their approach and support it with direct evidence from the source (i.e. direct quotations).
2. What is the author’s main argument(s) or point(s) about this topic? In other words, what are they adding to your understanding that is particular to their approach? Explain and support this contention with one direct quote.
3. What aspects of your topic are left out or might have been more fully addressed by the author of your source? AND How might this have changed their conclusions? Explain.

Grading Criteria:

• Clear and concise writing, free from major grammar or spelling issues
• A demonstrated grasp of the topic and the chosen source
• Fully address all prompts in the instructions

Format and Other Information:Citations: Please provide APA, MLA, or Chicago style citation for your source and in-text references for direct quotes. See the library resources for help if needed.                Format: Your assignment should be completed in Word and uploaded through Blackboard as a .docx or .pdf file. Please provide clear headings for each section.
