Note: I will only say “no” to your proposed topic if I do not believe there is enough content on your proposed topic in our textbook, the primaries you marked, or other resources in our course. I want you each to do something of interest to you, but I do want to make sure your odds are good for your success.
1. Mark an X beside each statement to show that you understand that you must:
__ Not start writing until you get feedback from me (The earlier you submit the proposal, the earlier the feedback.)
__ Provide supporting page numbers from our textbook for what you say
__ Use at least 3 primaries from the list below and ideally those primaries will be spread out over time
__ Follow the instructions in this link and in the file provided for your comparison
__ Notice that the file shows 2 parts to this answer and you must do both parts
__ Follow each of the 5 Good Habits for Evidence
2. Type your proposed topic for the Major Comparison here. Write it so that you (and I) can tell what you plan to compare.  Examples are a group (such as women or Africans) or a trend such as the role of religion or government in the nation or changes in government or sectional power or the goals of America. 

3.  Mark an X to the left of each primary (minimum 3) you plan to use in your Major Comparison. For how to use the Phrase When Citing  in the right column, see the instructions link.
