The topic is:
How did patterns of class and gender roles change in eighteenth-century North America?
You will do research on the topic and develop a statement, which you will prove with the use of secondary sources (you may use primary sources as well).
A really good paper will not simply be descriptive; you should pose an analytical question and use your sources to answer it.
Formatting:
All of your papers should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins, and in ten- or twelve-point type.
You must include endnotes or footnotes and a bibliography, both in the Chicago style.
Sources: must use at least THREE reputable, peer-reviewed outside sources.
There are a number of types of sources you should not use. You MAY NOT USE any general encyclopedias (online or otherwise), or non-academic websites.
