Project Milestone

Overview: This milestone will be the research step in your final project paper. Every claim that you have stated has to be supported by either a primary or secondary resource. See the outline below to use as a guideline for your claims and support.

Prompt: For each claim you have stated thus far in each of your milestones, you will now create the body of your research paper by incorporating your evidence. In your thesis statement, you should have generated at least three components that either caused or solved your historical event.

Each of those components, or claims, now needs to be supported by the scholarly evidence provided. Note: As you work to support each point, you may find that you need to reword the supporting points, which is part of the process. When you submit your final paper at the end of Module Eight you will finalize your thesis statement.

o Claim A: State your claim.
o Claim A: Use supporting evidence to defend that claim.

o Claim B: State your claim.
o Claim B: Use supporting evidence to defend that claim.

o Claim C: State your claim.
o Claim C: Use supporting evidence to defend that claim.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Defend your Argument: Now that you have established the historical context, you will move into a defense of each piece of the argument you made in your thesis statement.

Through several paragraphs in the body of your essay, you will defend your thesis using carefully selected evidence from your sources. You must include each of the following in this section:

A. Component 1 of Thesis Statement

1. Claim: State your historical claim that supports your thesis statement. For example, the South lost the Civil War because of racial divisions.

2. Evidence and Defense: Incorporate logical evidence from primary and secondary sources that supports your claim, and explain how the evidence supports your claim.

B. Component 2 of Thesis Statement

1. Claim: State your historical claim that supports your thesis statement. For example, the South lost the Civil War because of economic imbalances.

2. Evidence and Defense: Incorporate logical evidence from primary and secondary sources that supports your claim, and explain how the evidence supports your claim.

C. Component 3 of Thesis Statement

1. Claim: State your historical claim that supports your thesis statement. For example, the South lost the Civil War because of philosophical discord.

2. Evidence and Defense: Incorporate logical evidence from primary and secondary sources that supports your claim, and explain how the evidence supports your claim.

Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two primary and two secondary sources from the provided list cited in APA or Turabian format.
