Working Paper #1: Creating a Historiography


Having read the articles for the second half of unit 1, write a 2-page, double-spaced, and appropriately footnoted (please ask me if you are uncertain as to what this means) paper in Times New Roman 12-pt. font in which you address yourself to at least three of the articles you have read for class plus one additional article of your choice and 1) established the similarities between the articles (i.e. what people in the field agree on) 2) the differences in the field (what they do not agree on) and 3) the basic trend in the field (which should be your thesis statement for this short paper).  Good luck!
