For your first research paper of the year you are going to choose an influential element of 20th century Chinese history and create a source survey. Then, you will write the introduction to a paper complete with context and thesis. Next, you will look up source material from three different search engines / databases and evaluate what you find.
Sources to be used:
• Gale group
• Sweet Search
• http://www.loc.gov/families/
• http://dp.la/
• http://www.findingdulcinea.com/
You will be given some time in class to research your topic, organize your ideas, and write your paper, but you will be expected to do much of your research and writing at home. At the end of this unit you will have researched and written a 2-3 page research source survey.
The first step is to decide on a topic to use as your search term. Below are some good overviews of 20th century China that you can use. For Monday you need to have 3 options.
