Your outline should include a question and how you intend to answer it. If you¥ not sure what question to ask, a good basic question is èat does this document tell us about Roman history?!nd I can give you some advice from there. There is no required format or length for this assignment, because obviously an outline written in bullet points will be much shorter than an outline written in sentences. Remember that your final product can be informational (that is, it does not need to include an argument) or argumentative; you will need to decide which one you’d prefer before writing your outline.

The assignment should include 3 secondary [=non-ancient] peer-reviewed sources that include an argument; not textbooks or reference works)

Your assignment can be completed separately after your outline, with approximately one paragraph devoted to each bibliographic entry. Alternatively, you can incorporate the annotated bibliography into your outline; this would make a lot of sense for people whose articles are directly disagreeing with one another.

Answer the following questions for the assigned secondary source:

In 1-3 sentences, explain the authoràmain point using your own words. You can try to use the “because/but/so” scheme we used in the Primary Source Analysis if you;re having trouble

What is the authoràmain evidence/source material? Do not make a list of all the sources — prioritize the top 1-5. More isn’t necessarily better here!

How does this work relate to the question you have chosen to answer? Where do you see it fitting into the outline you’ve provided with it?
