When researching and writing your research paper remember you must not only describe past events; you must try to make sense of them. You must not only chronicle people’s actions, but you must try to discover the causes behind them.

Why did the subject you are writing about happen when it did? Why did events unfold and take shape in the way that they did? How did environmental factors and contemporary events interact with each other to help bring about the historical event you are dissecting?

a.) research paper topics thoroughly

b.) Successfully take up the challenge to think about topics in complex, multi-faceted ways.

c.) Describe narratives and analyses clearly, concisely, and completely. Analyze and reference your research to support your analysis. For example if you believe in your analysis that Reconstruction was a failure, prove it by referencing your research and supporting your argument. There is no right or wrong interpretation of history so long as you have evidence to help support your answer. Most importantly, don’t turn in a paper that simply states one fact after another and completely lacks your own interpretation of those facts. I do not want to simply read facts about a certain event or events; I want to see your interpretations of different events in history and what conclusion(s) you come to.

Remember: opinion is fine but it must be supported with fact. If quoting a source, which is fine, …CITE IT! You will not be penalized if you cite your source only if you do not!!!!
