- A two- to three-sentence explanation of how you will use the primary and secondary sources you listed in the Research Plan in your hypothetical research paper.
Historical Context: - Three- to five-sentences explaining of your event’s historical context. Summarize the topic using primary and secondary sources. In other words, what was going on in the world/area/society around the event? You have a good start on the Week 5 Context Chart – now add some additional information to meet 2-5 sentences.
- Make sure to cite your sources that you are using to base the historical context on. (Heads Up: Failure to cite your sources will result in point reduction on two places of the rubric and dip the grade to a C.)
Impact of Historical Context: - Write three- to five-sentences discussing how historical context impacted your event – again you have a good start on the Week 5 Context Chart – just add more information as needed to meet the 3-5 sentences. Discuss how the historical context impacted the topic. For instance, what was happening in the world/area/society around the event that impacted how it occurred?
- Make sure to cite your sources that you are using to base the historical context on. (Heads Up: Failure to cite your sources will result in point reduction on two places of the rubric and dip the grade to a C.)
