This will be two or more complete paragraphs describing (in complete sentences) the topic and research question for your research paper that is due at the end of this course. You will include historical/cultural research you will pursue (who, what, when, where), and your hypothesis – i.e., what you expect will be the answer(s) to your question (this may change as you research more, and that’s fine). You will need to do some initial research to familiarize yourself generally with your topic and to see whether research material is likely to be available. Identify any specific sources from which you are already working. Be as specific as you possibly can at this point. Give your best sense of your research project so far. (Requirements: at least 2 full paragraphs, 1 source minimum).
