1. Why are you interested in this person? This might make a separate paragraph, or possibly might connect with your thesis/paragraph. Your thesis paragraph should include your question, thesis, and reasoning--which should also organize your paper. 2. Body of paper should be organized around YOUR reasoning/argument, as spelled out inyour thesis paragraph. 3. Conclude by answering the question: Did this person reflect the times in which they lived, or did they help to shape the times in which they lived? Both? Explain. 4. Include Chicago Manual of Writing Style FOOTNOTES or ENDNOTES References throughout your paper should be in the form of footnotes or endnotes. The idea is that as you present the evidence to support your argument, you include a reference note with information about your source, including page numbers. Historians use Chicago Style for both notations, either at the foot of the page or at the end of your paper, and bibliographies. The note numbers are sequential--and each note has a new number, and these numbers are superscripted in your text. Really, its not that complicted--just make sure you include reference notes for significant points, and use the following webpage as a guide for form: Chicago Style Online/ http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html (the quick guide should be all you need, and it is free here) They have both NOTE--which has an "N" by it, and BIBLIOGRAPHIC FORM--which has a "B" by it. For Example: Book/ One author (Bibliographic Form)B: As you can see, the NOTE and BIBLIOGRAPHIC FORM are different. 5. Include bibliography--again, use Chicago Style and the above format. Too, put your bibliography--the books and articles used, in alphabetical order by author. Just follow the format on this page and you will be fine. (Bibliographic Form)B: 6. If you have difficulties writing, come see me early or make use of the Campus Writing Center. |
