history lab reformation
For this assignment, you will be completing a research paper on the impact of the Industrial Revolution. You will develop a thesis based upon preliminary research that takes one of the positions present in the essential question (more positive/more negative). Your paper will include elements of counterargument, and will rely on primary source evidence to support your thesis.
Your final product will be a 5-7 page paper, typed, double-spaced, 11 point font. 5 pages is a minimum. If you are struggling to stretch to reach that minimum, your research is probably lacking in detail and substantial support of your thesis. Do not mess with the margins or spacing to reach 5 pages. Add depth to your argument.
You will be required to have numbered notecards during your information gathering, which will be converted into an outline. The outline will inform your rough draft, which will then be honed into a masterpiece for final submission.
