Week 03 Research Paper Proposal with Annotated Bibliography
You must write a research paper on a topic of your choosing that will be due during week 07. The topic must be cleared with the professor by the end of this week in the form of a written proposal that will be graded.
Student proposals must begin with a question that drives the research paper, followed by a preliminary theses, which is the paper’s argument. For example, you may begin with a question such as “Why did the Israeli Labor Party lose power after the assassination of Yitzak Rabin?” Your preliminary thesis might posit that Palestinian terrorism played into the hands of the Likud Party, thus helping Benjamin Netanyahu defeat Shimon Peres. The question and thesis should be followed by a one- ot two-paragraph explanation, and then by an annotated bibliography of at least three preliminary scholarly sources. Of course, your thesis might change depending on what your research reveals!
The annotated bibliography should consist of a few sentences for each source listed that explain the source’s main argument and potential contribution to your research. The paper will be 8 pages double spaced. Papers must draw upon a minimum of five scholarly sources, meaning books or articles from scholarly journals.
