1. My Subject is Aviation from 1865 to 1915
5 Pages: 1375
The paper, without work's cited or footnotes, should be between
1200 – 1800 words. (roughly 5 - 6 pages) I will automatically
deduct 1 point for every 5 words short of 1200.
The paper must include at least FIVE reputable sources. This
can consist of books, journal articles, newspapers,
advertisements, and even your textbook, but at least two of
them should be the primary sources you provided for approval
by Prof. Degges or Mr. Harris.
Please footnote your paper with the correct source to avoid
plagiarism. All sources can be cited in MLA, APA, or Chicago
Manual of Style.
Possible Outline
Below is a general outline that should help to improve your
paper.
I. Introduction
A. Introduce the topic in a way that will catch the reader's
attention.
B. State your thesis. In many cases, the thesis is the last
sentence of the introductory paragraph, but you may place it
anywhere in the paragraph for reasons of style.
C. Review the main points of evidence you will cover later in
the paper to support your thesis.
II. Background
This should give an overview of what previous secondary
sources have said about your topic.
III. Supporting Evidence
This is where you should delve into the primary sources you
have and what they say about the topic. Each should be related
back to how it answers your research question and support your
thesis. Do not forget to answer the who, what, when, and where
of your source. This section should account for the bulk of your
paper.

2. IV. Contrary Evidence
As you are searching for the relevant information related to
your topic, you can't escape coming across controversial
evidence to your subject. Do not neglect it. If you do, your
paper will be incomplete or rather one-sided. Concentrate on the
most significant counterarguments. Do not allocate too much
time to controversial issues. Recognize them and elaborate on
them focusing on their weak points.
V. Conclusion
Your conclusion should not be a rephrasing of your introductory
paragraph. Although you should briefly summarize how the
evidence supports your thesis and how it outweighs the
contradictory evidence, you should also use the conclusion to
consider the broader implications of your topic.
Essential Tips for Writing History Papers
As you write, keep in mind the following list of writing tips that
can improve your paper.
Write in the simple past tense. By definition, history is
concerned with the past, and since you're writing about the past,
you need to write in the past tense.
CORRECT EXAMPLE: Roosevelt ordered the banks closed
until auditors verified that they were solvent.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: Roosevelt orders the banks closed
until auditors verify that they are solvent.
Avoid the use of the pronoun "I." You should avoid the use of
"I" in college writing, as it is too informal. Structure your essay
so that your ideas come across clearly without having to state
that they are your ideas.
CORRECT EXAMPLE: The WPA was one of the most
successful New Deal programs.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: I think that the WPA was one of the
most successful New Deal programs.
Avoid the use of qualifying terms. Terms such as "possibly,"
"probably," "seems," "may," and "might" indicate weaknesses in
your argument. In some cases where evidence is almost entirely
lacking, such words can be used, but when the preponderance of

3. evidence points in one direction, do not use qualifiers.
CORRECT EXAMPLE: The "Bank Holiday" restored public
confidence in the financial system.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: The "Bank Holiday" probably
restored public confidence in the financial system.
Be sure pronouns agree with their antecedents. If a pronoun
replaces a plural noun, you should use a plural pronoun. When
replacing a singular noun, use a singular pronoun. If you name
several people in a previous sentence, be careful not to use a
pronoun that could apply to anyone of them; the reader won't
know to whom you're referring.
CORRECT EXAMPLE: After consulting his advisors, Franklin
Roosevelt selected several programs he thought would be
effective in helping to end the Depression. He immediately
presented these programs to Congress.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: After consulting his advisors,
Franklin Roosevelt selected several programs he thought would
be effective in helping to end the Depression. They immediately
presented these programs to Congress.
CORRECT EXAMPLE: Two women, Eleanor Roosevelt and
Frances Perkins, played crucial roles in the New Deal. Perkins
served as FDR's secretary of labor.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: Two women, Eleanor Roosevelt and
Frances Perkins, played crucial roles in the New Deal. She
served as FDR's secretary of labor.
Avoid slang. Unless you are using a direct quotation that
employs slang, do not use it. Slang will ruin the tone of your
paper.
Omit needless words or platitudes. State your ideas as directly
as possible. Excessive use of adverbs, adjectives, and
prepositional phrases can clutter a sentence, obscuring rather
than amplifying your points. Many students load their papers
with "filler" words in order to meet a minimum length
requirement. This is obvious to the reader and does more harm
than good. It's better to use additional evidence rather than
additional words.

4. CORRECT EXAMPLE: The CCC employed thousands of
workers to construct hiking trails in national parks.
INCORRECT EXAMPLE: The CCC kept many thousands of
workers busily employed in constructing long hiking trails
through America's beautiful national parks.
Define Terms
Writers often take shortcuts by failing to place information
within its context, or by neglecting to define terms. Writing this
way puts you at risk of providing insufficient information; when
grading the essay, the instructor is likely to assume that you are
not familiar with the context or terms. One way to overcome
this problem is to write your paper so that a general reader
unfamiliar with the topic would be able to read and understand
the essay. You might ask a friend who fits this description to
act as your "ideal reader" and point out areas in your paper that
are not clear or have other problems.
Read your draft aloud
Hearing your own words, or having someone else listen to them,
can help you identify run-on sentences, awkward phrasing, and
other problems that might otherwise escape your attention. This
is one of the most effective ways to proofread your work before
turning it in.
Cite sources properly. You can use MLA, APA, or Chicago
Manual of Style. Any particular issues the answer can be found
here: https://libraries.indiana.edu/help-citing-sources.
When reviewing your paper for submission, be careful to answer
these questions, and avoid the following pitfalls.
• Does my thesis clearly state my argument and its significance?
• Does the main argument in each body paragraph support my
thesis?
• Do I have enough evidence within each body paragraph to
make my point?
• Have I adequately introduced, analyzed, and cited every
quotation I use?
• Do my topic sentences effectively introduce the main point of

5. each paragraph?
• Do I have transitions between paragraphs?
• Is my paper free of grammar and spelling errors?
I will be grading your papers with all these questions in mind.
Also, here are some commonly identified problems with term
paper submissions that will also cost you points:
• You engage in cheap, anachronistic moralizing. (This paper is
about evidence-based research)
• You are sloppy with the chronology. (Putting thing out of
there order can cause faulty thesis)
• You have written a careless “one-draft wonder.” (Revise!!)
• You are vague or have empty, unsupported generalizations.
(Self-explanatory)
• You use inappropriate sources. (websites, family friends, etc.)
• You have no clear thesis and little analysis.
