Investigating Further with Primary Sources For the final assignment, you will construct a question or hypothesis inspired by your thesis to investigate further, test, or answer using primary sources. You will use texts as primary sources (lived experience, material culture, literary works, works of art, films, YouTube clips, memoirs…), in conjunction with one or more secondary texts (critical or scholarly discussions, research done by other scholars, etc). Your topic might address cultural attitudes on a particular issue relevant to the other texts or themes addressed in the course. In the paper, you should support your argument with references drawn from several primary texts. 1-Use the thesis statement or hypothesis based on your major (or major you may choose) that you used in Assessment 2: What is a question/concept/idea you want to pursue that is related to your major? 2-Using the Rough Outline you created in Assessment 3, write a paper that addresses each of the aspects of your rough outline, as well as of course your thesis/hypothesis. 3- Utilize five to ten outside sources to support your thesis statement. These can include any sources you have found in Assessments 1 and 2. At the end of your research paper, you will annotate your references/works cited/bibliography page. Below each source, provide one sentence summarizing the source, and p0rovide one sentence stating how the source is related to a specific aspect of your thesis/hypothesis.
