Here are some guidelines for your WWII Research Report:

You need to have at least four sources for your report, and at least two of those need to be hard sources (such as a book or an encyclopedia). The other two could be Internet sites, videos, magazines, a primary source, or any other source of reliable information.

You will need to turn in an accurate bibliography with your notes and with your drafts, so please make sure you write the complete bibliography information on your note cards while you are copying down facts. Report Length: 1,000 to 1500 words.

You will be marked down severely for PLAGIARISM. No “copy and paste” is allowed for notes or drafts of this report. You need to put the information in your own words!!!

Every report also needs to address this information: the effects your topic had on the people and the environment affected by that topic. Your drafts double-line spaced if typed. Please remember to include an introduction (with a thesis statement) and a conclusion (restating the thesis).
