My research topic is the Ilkhanid dynasty. It is not very well-known, so it was difficult to find the ten sources that were required. I struggled the most with finding primary sources because most of the library databases did not have information on this empire. I finally found two primary sources on art and decoration of the empire, so I had to find a way to incorporate these into my research question. I ended up with quality of life in the empire.
The best parts of this assignment are that these steps are making the rough draft process much easier by using annotated bibliographies to determine the quality of a source and notecards to help us form our paragraphs. The annotated bibliographies were the easiest part of this assignment, but they also took the longest. I hope the rest of this assignment is as helpful as the beginning parts.
I had trouble finding the sources too. I didn't have any issues finding the primary sources because my topic was more about modern life.
ReplyDeleteI understand how hard it is to find sources, too. But is sounds like your writing process is going great! Good post!
