Here are the instructions from Prof. McLennan about the part of your research project that this guide can help you with:
Pre-Writing/Draft—Part 1
This stage of the research project requires you to find two quality sources and write three paragraphs: one for each source and one summarizing what you learned from the sources.
There are two types of sources: primary and secondary.
A primary source is a document or an object from a particular event or time period that provides a first-hand account. Historical newspapers, diaries, letters, interviews, and objects like dresses, posters, and pottery are all primary sources.
Secondary sources analyze primary sources. They include histories and critical essays that contextualize and explain what primary sources mean. For this essay, I'd like you to find one primary and one secondary source about a sub-topic that Coates discusses in his essay.
