In THE HISTORY STUDENTS HANDBOOK the example is given of a research paper on the topic of World War I. Two possible research questions would be: “To what extent was World War I caused by international power struggles?” and “Did these power struggles exist for a long period, were they short-term, or were they immediate?”

No single annotation should be longer than one page in length, double-spaced. Use the following section sub-headings for each annotation:
i) Citation (0.5 pt. each)The citation must appear in Chicago Bibliography style. For purposes of this assignment the citation should be single spaced.
ii) Summary (0.5 pt. each)Provide a summary in which you identify the resources contents, main ideas and arguments. Your summary should be one paragraph long and double spaced.
iii) AssessmentIdentify the key elements that support your view that the resource is scholarly and of good quality for use in historical research at the college level. For example, what evidence is there that the information contained in the article is well researched? Is the article peer reviewed? What qualifications does the author have? Your assessment should be one paragraph long and double spaced.
For your primary resource, what evidence is there that the primary resource is authentic? If it is on a website, is it an image or transcript of the original document? What qualifications does the author have? What qualifications does the website owner have? Your assessment should be one paragraph long and double spaced.
iv) RelevanceHow or why is the resource directly relevant to your research questions?
d) Work PlanIn one paragraph state what you would need to do to complete this research project. Where might you find additional resources? Who might you speak with and why? What would you do with the data/information that you might collect? How might you analyze the data/information that you collect? How might you package your project (would you write a paper, create a website, produce a video, etc.)? Why would you package your project in that way? What assistance might you need to successfully complete your research project?
