This assignment is an opportunity for you to research a topic related to the study of the Holocaust that interests you in depth. During Week 2, I will post topic ideas, as well as open up a discussion to brainstorm topics with your classmates and me. This paper is not simply a historical narrative, but is an analytical paper. You need to form a thesis statement and include your analysis throughout your paper. Please see the provided grading rubric in the classroom.
Note: I am available to read rough drafts that are submitted one week before the due date. I am available to discuss this project with you at any stage of research. You may email me theses statements to check, topic ideas, outlines, sources, etc. Remember I am here to help you!
Tips for your Final Paper:
-Include a Title Page (this does not count into the total page count for the assignment)
-Include a Bibliography or Works Cited Page (this does not count into the total page count for your assignment)>

-Develop a strong and specific thesis statement (argument) for your paper.
-Include a clear and focused introduction that establishes both your thesis and the main points for your paper.
-Tie information back to your thesis throughout.
-Include your analysis throughout; do not just give a historical narrative.
- Transition between topics and make connections (use your paragraph topic and concluding sentences to your advantage).
-Bring together your main points and re-summarize your thesis in a clear and focused conclusion.
