Moore(HIST)......Topic: Nat Turners Rebellion............. tudents are expected to write a three to four page paper on the topic. (This page guideline does not include title pages and bibliographies, there needs to be 3-4 pages of actual content). Please avoid long quotes, as what I want to see is your own words, not those of others........ 1. Summarize the topic using specific examples throughout history. For example, if you were writing about the history of African American troops in the Civil War you would want to talk about recruiting, training, the experiences of different regiments, and major battles. If you were writing about the experience of women you would want to provide specific examples of individual slaves as well as major issues affecting women......... 2. What is the evidence for your viewpoint? Since, this is a history class; you will have to find concrete and reliable evidence for your viewpoint. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REFERENCE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES AND CITE YOUR SOURCES! I understand that you may not be used to citing sources, and am much more concerned that you did real research than whether your citations are flawless. However, part of being a historian is citing sources so please do give this your best shot. Historians use the Chicago Style of citing sources but you may also use the APA or MLA style if you would prefer......... 3. Summary: summarize your paper in the final paragraph, showing the connection between your main argument or arguments and the evidence and examples from history you used to support those arguments.
