1. One typed page where you should briefly introduce the tasks you were to accomplish.
2. Text based vocabulary notes
3. Film Review
4. Report
APPENDIX 2
REPORT
Each student is required to write an 8-10 page REPORT on some aspect of the British life. Papers should be double-spaced, typed in 12-point font, and employ at least three primary and five secondary sources.
State your point/points you wish to prove about your topic and the arguments you will employ to develop it in your introductory paragraph. Give examples from both primary and secondary sources to illustrate your points but confine direct quotations to primary materials. Arguments from secondary materials, especially textbooks, should generally be paraphrased (put in your own words). Summarize your conclusions in a final paragraph.
Acknowledge all your sources, whether quoted or paraphrased. When in doubt, CITE! Use endnotes in the humanities format to cite your sources. Endnotes involve consecutive numbers at the end of the sentence or paragraph which you have quoted or paraphrased. The actual note giving author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and pages consulted will appear consecutively numbered at the end of the paper. Here's an example of an endnote page:
Notes
1. Frederick R. Stevenson and Carl Feiss, "Charleston and Savannah," Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 10 (December 1951): 3-9.
2. John W. Reps, The Making of Urban America: A History of City Planning in the United States (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1965), 157-159.
Papers will be graded on both content and style. Thus, it is important that you proofread carefully for spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure that your report is clearly stated and that it is adequately supported by the evidence.
