 * __the question needs to go deeper than we have in class__. A good rule is to ask yourself, "could a US history student answer this question based on what we have learned in class. For example avoid questions like "What was the experience of African Americans during WWII?" We have explored this is class already.
 * __Have an angle and somewhat narrow topic,__ instead of "what was the role of women in the US after WWII." Try something more specific. What was the role of women in the anti-war movement OR civil rights movement OR elections. Another great topic would be the Women's Liberation Movement
 * **ALL TOPICS MUST BE WRITTEN FROM A US PERSPECTIVE**, this is a US history class. So if your topic involves the civil war in Guatemala your question has to focus on something American. "What was the role of the US in the Guatemalan Civil War?"
 * MATERIALS MUST BE BROUGHT TO CLASS ON 3/12
 * **OUTLINE DUE** 4/1 with revised thesis paragraph

- The link below shows an example outline. The main differences between this sample and the one due for US History are the KIS one will (a) be double-spaced, (b) include a complete thesis statement at the beginning, and (c) have complete topic sentences for each paragraph. []
