Research Assignment Stage 1
Assignment: This is the birth of your major project for this semester. To begin, you will do a little digging. Consider what about this period is of particular interest to you, what do you have questions about when you consider the late 18thC/early 19thC (1790-1820). Now, find an object/artwork around which you can base your line of inquiry. Finally, start investigating sources that will help you along the way.
This assignment includes your bibliography, including at least 4 preliminary sources (1 of which must be a primary source) as well as a short abstract introducing your proposed project. This must introduce your object and may ask the questions you are looking to unpack.
ALSO – indicate if you will give a presentation or written essay for Stage 3.
The Specifics:
Ensure that your name, student number, course number, and word count for your abstract (300-400 words) all appear on the first page.
Ensure your citations (footnotes and bibliography) are consistent. There is a link to this on BrightSpace.
This assignment assesses your ability to follow instructions, conduct research, and begin a line of original inquiry. I will be looking for at least 4 different sources.
