The goal of the research paper is to choose a topic addressed by one of the assigned monographs and write a research paper that expands on the content found in Changes in the Land. For example, the way that Native Americans modified the land in order to survive, or the social structure of Puritan society would both be appropriate topics to expand upon in your paper. This paper must incorporate 2 additional primary sources, and 1 additional secondary source. All sources must come from the library or library databases and be cited within your paper. Your paper must present a thesis (an academic argument), and defend this thesis with evidence. Websites will not be accepted as sources.
