Assignment: Research Proposal with Annotated Bibliography
This is a proposal for a research paper on any topic in history. Be sure that your topic is narrow enough to be meaningful. So, for example, if you wanted to do a biographical type paper, you should not set out to write on something so broad as "The Life of Thomas Jefferson." Rather, you would pick a segment of his life such as "Jefferson as Governor of Virginia" or "Jefferson's Education at William and Mary," etc.
Format: Title page, 1-2 pages (proposal and annotated bibliography)
Proposal Content: The proposal will be shaped by the following questions or comments: For each question or comment you will give a 2-3 sentence narrative.
1. As a senior history student, explain the concept and purpose of a research proposal and what you believe it should include.

3. How did you determine key sources needed to write on this topic?
