Starting the Paper

I have loaded a PowerPoint on citation style and an introduction worksheet for those that are ready to get started.

Outline and Title Page

You should be working on your title page and your outline. You must be reading!  If you do not read, you cannot do the rest of the tasks, so take time to read.

Title Page

Make a copy of this Title Page Example, download as a Word document. Edit it to reflect your famous American. Do not forget the moniker.

Research Starts Today

You should be reading, reading, reading!!! Find time in the day or at night to get through a chapter or two a night. The story of your Famous American should be coming together in "chunks". Each topic should be highlighted a different color.

Secondly, locate the EBSCO search engine and gather other articles for your paper.
