      (1)    Introduce your topic and the major cultural, political, and or/social contexts.
      (2)    Provide a clear articulation of the main question(s) that your final project seeks to answer
      (3)    Give an overview of the existing historiography—what have other scholars written about your topic, and how will your paper build on/expand on their work? 
      (4)    Give an overview of the primary (archival) sources you plan to draw on.
