Final Research Paper Assignment

Hello Everyone:

Below you'll find the prompt for your final research assignment of the semester. The same instructions will be distributed on paper in class this Friday.

Draft Due Date: April 23rd
Final Due Date: April 30th

Project Length: 8-10 pages

For your final research project pick two of the autobiographies that we have read (or will read) and compare them. Your topic/thesis may examine a common or convergent theme in the two texts. Use your thesis to clearly structure your argument, and be certain to provide evidence to support your claims.

You are also required to incorporate no fewer than three and no more than five outside sources for this project, to be cited in the style guide of your choice. We will discuss how to better use these sources in Friday's class, as well as how to annotate these sources in your bibliography.

If you have any questions, about the prompt or the bibliography, please let me know in class, via email, or on the comments section below.

Good Luck!
