First Annotated Bibliography

Your first annotated bibliography is due tomorrow.  You do not need a working thesis yet, only a very specific and descriptive topic circa the end of the Middle Ages through the Enlightenment (1776 or so).  Movement beyond a single word description such as democracy is required.  A much better topic would be "examine the links between the witch hunts and the socio-economic changes in the 16th century and possibly the religious wars."  The more you tell us the more advice we may provide you. The exact requirements for the final paper may be found on the blog here.  It gives you many links to useful research sources and databases. 

If you have forgotten how your Early World teacher taught you about an annotated bibliography or if your former school did not use Chicago Style, I have included pictures of the pages you need to make an annotated bibliography. You need a minimum of four sources, which should be listed in alphabetical order. Feel free to use http://www.citationmachine.net/turabian/cite-a-book to assist you in creating the proper citation.

Triumvirate Formation: Complete European History Class List

Using the attached document, please begin to form your triumvirates (three leaders) for campaigning for elections. For a successful triple, consider the necessary skills:

  • organization (business, task, detail-oriented)
  • leadership (charismatic and friendly encouragement of others)
  • theatrical and directorial skills (production of a play)
  • editorial (editing three scripts of the one-act plays created by the three individual classes into a single cohesive script). 
Please submit your triumvirate candidates along with either a short persuasive written statement or short video as to why your triumvirate should be elected.  Feel free to refer to past, relevant experiences that support your triumvirate's candidacy.
