Final Project Topic Selection
English 500

Assignment: Briefly propose your topic for the final project and sketch your research plan.

• The topic selection must be 1-2 pages, and it should include the following:

  • Clearly identify your primary texts—works of fiction, film, drama, music, popular culture, non-fiction, cultural event, etc.

  • Is there enough scholarship on the MLA Bibliography or other peer-reviewed bibliographies to effectively research your topic?

  • Have you established your interlibrary loan accounts?

  • What do you anticipate will be your biggest challenge?

Format: Your paper should be neatly typed, printed single-sided, and use an elegant serif font (Times New Roman or Garamond are ideal). You should rigorously follow all MLA style guidelines for research papers, including page numbering, margins, paragraph spacing, and use in-text citation. The annotated bibliography must be properly formatted, and the entire paper must be double spaced.
