For this course, you will complete a research project of three parts: a proposal (due in this module), an annotated bibliography (located in the module on the Renaissance and Baroque), and a research paper (located after the module on Romanticism).<\/p>\n
To begin, you must first select a research topic. This topic is your choice, but it must relate to this course specifically, on a subject that we are covering. You can look ahead at the modules to come or look back at the modules we have already covered. Pick something that interests you and which you care about. I have included a list of possible topics at the end of this page, to give you some ideas, but you are not required to use it.<\/p>\n
Next, review the requirements of the proposal below, but also look carefully at the annotated bibliography and the final research paper, in the upcoming modules. You must use the same topic for all three parts of the research project. Use MLA formatting.

Be sure to adhere to MLA style for in-text citations and a works cited page.<\/span><\/p>\n
