The final draft of your research paper is due at the start of class on Thursday 5/30. Please remember that it needs to be a full five pages (to the end of the fifth page or longer) and that you need to include a final works cited page with your final draft.
Also due Thursday 5/30: notes on pages 371-388 in Brinkley (you may skip the colored sections on where historians disagree and baseball in the Civil War).
A few things I noticed while I was checking your rough drafts that need to be fixed for the final draft:
-Titles should be in standard font - no bold, underlines, or italics (unless you're including the name of an artistic work or part of a quotation)
-Write in past tense - this is history, so it has already happened. If you have a quote in present tense, that's fine - quote it as is.
-AVOID using I, me, you, we - this is a formal essay, and that's the rule of thumb.
