***I need the term paper Bibliography only at this time.
The paper will be completed in three stages:
1. Draft bibliography. Worth 50 points. Due by midnight Saturday (Eastern Time) at the end of Week 3 of the course.
2. Draft paper. Worth 100 points. Due by midnight Saturday (Eastern Time) at the end of Week 6 of the course.
3. Final paper, which includes revisions to both the text of the paper and the bibliography. Worth 150 points. Due by midnight Saturday (Eastern Time) at the end of Week 9 of the course.
An integral part of the course will be the writing of a term paper 5-6 pages long. In the paper the student will examine a topic arising from the course material, such as the forces that drove a particular change in American society or they ways in which American society or the lives of Americans changed as a result of some particular historical event or development (such as one of the World Wars or the influx of immigrants in the late 19th century).
The Term Paper calls for you to use and cite at least (2) primary sources, and (4) secondary sources. It is important, therefore, to be clear about the distinction between primary and secondary sources.
For submitted bib., you need to separate primary from secondary and give full info on sources such as author, publ, date, and how accessed. Urls do not take place of full bib. entry. Style should follow that of University of Chicago.
Let’s suppose, for example, that you were writing a paper about immigration in the 1880s and wanted to set about gathering the ten required sources for your paper. Under the guidelines of the grading rubric for the assignment (and please read those guidelines carefully), you would need to assemble at least two primary sources. The remainder may be secondary sources.
A primary source is a document that comes directly from the time period being studied or a document that was produced by someone who had direct involvement in that period’s events. Primary sources generally include letters, journals, government documents, photographs or newspaper articles from the immediate time period of the events under discussion.
A diary or letters or a memoir written by someone who emigrated to America in the 1880s would be considered a primary source. So would government records from the 1880s showing numbers of immigrants arriving at, say Ellis Island in New York Harbor or Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. An article about the new immigrants published in the New York Times during the 1880s also would be considered a primary source. Many primary documents are available online through the Library of Congress, the various presidential libraries, and major public or university libraries.
Books and articles published in later decades that discuss immigration in the 1880s would be considered secondary sources.
One final reminder: Do not use Wikipedia as a source, nor any other web site that is not in the .edu or .gov domains, unless you have received specific prior approval from the instructor.
