Although this is not a traditional research paper, students may find the need to use the textbook or class notes to offer examples of historic events to support your thesis. When doing so please include the sources at the end of the paper and a citation within the body of the paper.

Paper Guidelines12 point Times New Roman font only; single-space the body of your paper. Be sure to include an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion that ties together overall thesis.
The finished product must have some fluidity and cohesiveness. Be sure that any opinions are supported with factual evidence or logical explanations. Each topic should be distinguished from the other in your finished file. This means you should write the topic at the top of the page and then move on to a new page when beginning the second topic (include it at the top of that page).
Topic 1 (can be written in first person)
How is history relevant to your life?
Topic 2 (do not write in first person)
