thinking of academic source material. You should include at least 5 scholarly sources. Your
proposals must be written in expository prose and should do the following:

number, and the date.
2. An introduction with necessary historical context (background) and the importance of the
topic.
3. A research question at the end of the introduction. Example (from another class): How
did the involvement of Chilean President Salvador Allende with Cuban President Fidel
Castro influence the United States’ perception of the Socialist Party of Chile in 1973?
You may tell from the tone of the question that it is open-ended (arguable) because other
scholars can contend the opposite or bring up an entirely different question explaining
U.S. involvement in Chile in 1973, leading to the overthrow of President Allende.
4. A thesis statement that responds to the research question. This should also be in the
introduction.
5. Analysis and argumentation in support of the thesis statement.
6. At least 5 scholarly sources must be used and cited.
7. A sound conclusion that wraps up the research paper.
