Prompt
Building upon the research plan and annotated bibliography developed in HIS 340 Making History, you will write a research paper that illustrates your mastery of
the discipline of history. You will build this paper throughout the term, with feedback from your peers and instructor. In addition, you will create a public
presentation of your research that would be given to an audience within the public realm. This presentation will make the connection between your research
and its relevance to non-historians.

of two capstone components, you will develop a comprehensive research paper by interpreting existing literature, applying your own critical
analysis, and forming an original argument. You should use the research plan and annotated bibliography you developed in HIS 340: Making History as the
foundation for your work. You must use at least 10 primary sources and 10 secondary sources in writing your paper. Be sure that your paper formatting,
footnotes, and bibliographical citations conform to Turabian-style guidelines.
The following sections must be included:

• to 8-slide) presentation of your research that explains your topic and its
  relevance to a public, non-academic audience. This audience may be museum patrons, a parent teacher organization, a city council, or any other public, nonacademic audience for which your topic is applicable. Be sure to identify your audience early in the presentation. Within your presentation, you will discuss the
  process and outcomes of your research project as well as its relevance to the general public. The presentation should focus on the application of your research
  to the public realm, how it is valuable to your audience, and suggestions for additional study. Save your public presentation and submit it to your instructor.
  In the final component of this capstone, be sure to include the following:
  x Overview of the importance of history for society
  x Thesis and conclusion of research
  x Importance of this topic to the discipline of history
  x Importance of this topic to the public realm
  x Potential for future research with applications to the public realm
