GUIDELINES
Your project should be a research paper of between 2000 and 3300 words (8 to 12 pages). Please write your paper according to APA Style. You may refer to the textbook for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least five additional credible sources outside of your textbook.
Be sure your paper has:
A title page.
An introduction (that clearly states your thesis).
Full development of your ideas supported by cited sources.

Books or original research papers by historic researchers
Peer-reviewed journal articles
Review papers from scientific journals
Scholarly websites

In general, unacceptable references include unsubstantiated viewpoints and encyclopedias, whether in print or online references such as Wikipedia (although these might be used as a starting point to find more scholarly publications). Cite a minimum of five scholarly references.
Additionally:
Your paper should be well developed and convey your understanding of the readings and concepts.
Your paper should be organized, coherent, and unified.
Your paper should be free of spelling and grammatical errors.
