| Response sheet 6, after the consultations, whether Tuesday or Thursday | |

This week we will be pinpointing your research paper topic, to make sure it is compelling in terms of its topic, feasible in terms of sources, and equitable in terms of workload. 1. ANY FURTHER THOUGHTS?: So, again, what do you really care about, and why? What can’t you stop reading about, thinking about, talking about? Stepping back and considering why this is so for you is always — and continuously — useful. 2. What is your working research paper topic, to be refined as you proceed in your research? What might be interesting about it to people who are interested in something else? 3. What are some secondary sources (by historians) that might help you research this topic, and its historical context? 4. What are some primary sources (by people in the past) that might help you research this topic? Where can you find these sources? |
