Oral History Research Paragraphs
Overview
Using at least 3 secondary sources you will type two well-developed paragraphs about your chosen topic. Paragraphs are required to be at least 8-10 sentences. The writing must be paraphrased in your own words. Plagiarism will not be accepted and will result in the grade of a zero. Use the MLA format as a guide.
Research
In order to have a thorough understanding of your event, you are required to use at least three secondary sources (books, websites that end in .edu, .gov,.org)
In your research, look for the background information of your chosen event. When did it happen? Where did it happen? Why did it occur? What was the impact of your event on America and Americans? Be specific in your details and remember to put this information in your own words.
These two research paragraphs will eventually be the introductory part of your final paper. You want to set the stage for the reader so that the reader can have a full understanding of your event before you portray your three interviewee’s stories. Use 12 font, Times New Roman. One-inch margins. Double space.
