I am confident that my rough draft is plenty long enough, but I am not sure that all of the in-text citations are formatted correctly. My paper also has many facts, but I am unsure if some of the facts are useful in backing up my thesis. Also, even if we are just summarizing information from a source, do we still need to cite it in the text?
I found that actually writing the draft was fairly easy for me. The research, on the other hand, was slightly more difficult. Originally I had only had primary sources, so I had to find a few reliable secondary sources for my project. I found a great site that had a lot of useful information for the background of my report. It had facts about Hitler, World War I and WW II, The Holocaust, and some events after the Holocaust.

I agree with you about how the actual research part of the paper was difficult. We also both have a topic to do with the Holocaust and World War II
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem with the in-text citations. World War II seems like a cool topic to research. If I do another research paper like this, I'm doing it on WWII.
