causes of European economic growth between 950-1100 C.E. Order Description Topic Selection: Choose a research topic that interests you from our study of Rome until the end of this course. Write a 1000-1250 word essay that describes the topic's importance to our understanding of Western Civilization. Thesis Statement: Pay close attention to the thesis statement in your introduction. Your thesis should be a statement that makes a point that you are going to prove or explain. For example: The Roman Empire fell in 476 A.D. because of political corruption, moral decline, and its inability to defend its borders. (No you can't use this example) Sources: Your paper should include no less than 4 scholarly references that are footnoted and cited within the paper. Scholarly references include books and published journal articles by historians or archaeologists, as well as theologians who have spent considerable time referencing these sources in their works. Wikipedia.com and Dictionary.com are not scholarly sources. You may use your textbook and class lectures as a reference, but they will not be counted as one of the 4 scholarly references used to research the topic of interest. The purpose of this assignment is for you to research a topic beyond what is mentioned in the narrative of the textbook or discussions in class. Format: Follow the 5-paragraph essay format that is posted in the files section of this course. A cover page is not needed, but a "works cited" or "bibliography" is required. Proof your essay before submitting it to ensure that proper grammar usage and spelling are not distracting to the reader.
