RESEARCH PROJECT: RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This assignment is your chance to put together some of the main themes we covered in this course, from the colonial era to today. It will allow you to dig deeper into one aspect of Virginia <\/span>history and hone your research and writing habits, thus strengthening your critical thinking and <\/span><\/div>\n
communication skills. It will also offer you the chance to incorporate the concepts taught in the Research Project: Annotated Bibliography Assignment and build on the writing feedback left <\/span>on your Founding Documents Essay Assignment. Virginia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history is foundation to its current <\/span><\/div>\n
existence, and this assignment will allow you to demonstrate that connection in your topic. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
INSTRUCTIONS<\/div>\n
You will select one (1) of the topics below and fully address all the questions it contains in a 5-page research paper.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Discuss some traditional approaches to government in Virginia throughout the Colonial, Antebellum and Reconstruction eras. How did the political changes of the 20th century <\/span>(1900s) impact Virginia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s traditional political approaches?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Explain the differing positions between federalism and anti-federalism in the debates over ratifying the U.S. Constitution during Virginia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ratifying Convention in 1788. How <\/span>did these differing viewpoints concerning the role of the federal government linger <\/span>through the state during the Antebellum era? What 20th century (1900s) political debates <\/span>in Virginia also had their roots in that disagreement?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Trace Virginia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s civil rights struggle from the colonial era through today. What were periods of strides forward and setbacks? Identify a current issue (since 2010) in Virginia <\/span>that has its roots in that struggle.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The research paper must be written in current Turabian format, double spaced in 12 pt. font, have a minimum of 3 scholarly sources (not counting the textbook or Bible), and be a minimum of 5 <\/span><\/div>\n
full pages in length (not counting a title page or the bibliography). <\/div>\n
The research paper must contain a properly formatted bibliography and in-text citations (footnotes) for all direct quotations and paraphrases from your sources. Any paper lacking both <\/span>will receive an automatic 25% grade reduction.<\/span>Only scholarly sources may be used for this paper, as outlined in the course syllabus. This <\/span>includes the use of books, scholarly articles, and primary sources. Websites that end with .gov, <\/span><\/div>\n
.mil, or .edu are also permitted for use. A scholarly source is one that has been written by a scholar or an expert in a field of study and has been peer-reviewed and\/or published. Most <\/span>websites that show up with a Google search do not fall under this category. A good rule of thumb <\/span><\/div>\n
is if a website ends with .com, .org, or .net, it is a popular history source, and not a scholarly one, even if it is credible. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
HIUS 390<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the research process, review your sources, pull the ideas out that you find relevant to your topic, and then draw your own conclusions from them. Incorporate your sources into your own <\/span>findings to lend credibility to your work and demonstrate you have researched the topic to the <\/span><\/div>\n
point where you understand what others have concluded about it and can reasonably draw your own conclusions and contribute new scholarship to the topic.<\/span>In a short paper like this, avoid using too many direct quotes from your source.<\/span><\/div>\n
thumb is to paraphrase the information unless you will change the meaning by doing so, or if the <\/div>\n
quote is pithy and the phrasing contributes to the meaning. Therefore, be sure to mostly <\/div>\n
paraphrase the information you pull from your sources, putting their idea completely into your <\/div>\n
own words. Remember, a paraphrase needs a citation in the same way a direct quote does. For <\/div>\n
any direct quotes you do use, be sure to integrate them correctly and not just include them as <\/div>\n
standalone sentences. <\/div>\n
You are encouraged to look at the instructor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s feedback on the Research Project: Annotated <\/div>\n
Bibliography Assignment from Module 6 and incorporate it into the final bibliography that is <\/div>\n
submitted with this paper. There is a grade deduction on the rubric for this assignment for failure <\/div>\n
to fix formatting things marked on the Research Project: Annotated Bibliography <\/div>\n
Assignment.  <\/div>\n
When you write your paper, begin with an introduction. In it, include a brief mention of the main <\/div>\n
points you will cover in your paper. End it with a thesis statement that those main points are <\/div>\n
going to prove\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe main argument in your paper that you want your reader to walk away <\/div>\n
convinced is true. Your thesis statement should mention Virginia, since your paper is about <\/div>\n
Virginia history, and it should also include some sort of phrasing that directly ties to the prompt <\/div>\n
you are responding to (traditional approaches to government, the federalism\/anti-federalism <\/div>\n
debate, or the struggle over civil rights). <\/div>\n
In the body of your paper, move through each of your main points, going more into depth about <\/div>\n
them and including properly cited examples that support them. Create new paragraphs for each <\/div>\n
topic you cover in each point, connecting them to your previous topic with analysis. After you <\/div>\n
finish explaining a main point, use analysis to show your reader how it supports your main <\/div>\n
thesis, then move on to the next main point and repeat the process. <\/div>\n
The concluding paragraph should briefly recount how you used your main points to prove the <\/div>\n
thesis of the paper. It should not introduce any new points. It is your last chance to reiterate your <\/div>\n
main ideas\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmake the most of it!<\/div>\n
When you write for academic assignments, be sure to follow the best practices for formal <\/div>\n
writing. Those include:<\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Always write in formal language. Avoid colloquialisms and contractions.<\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Always write in the third person (he, she, it…), never first person (I, we, me…).<\/div>\n
HIUS 390<\/div>\n
Page 3 of 3<\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Avoid run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Make sure you can identify the subject <\/div>\n
and verb in every sentence. <\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 When writing about historical things, stay in the past tense.<\/div>\n
\u00ef\u201a\u00b7 Only use apostrophes to make nouns possessive, never plural. <\/div>\n
Review the Research Project: Research Paper Grading Rubric before submitting your <\/div>\n
research paper and verify it meets the expectations for this assignment.<\/div>\n
