Proposal to Do the Safe Subject – Caution: Make sure you read what you submit (Think of it as your contract.)
You must complete all yellow sections in this file and then submit your file to the Turnitin Assignment for the Proposal. What’s does Merriam- Webster say is a proposal? “something (such as a plan..) that is presented to a person ….” In my case I will only say “no” if I am concerned your plan will fail. We’ll work through revising the plan so you succeed.
 Your instructor will review your page numbers and—if they look like they will work—she will enter a grade for the proposal and you will be able to see the Turnitin Assignment for your formal paper called the Analysis of Primaries.
What does Merriam- Webster say is a paper? “a formal written composition”
Your name: ___________________________________  The date: _______________
1. Mark an X beside in the yellow underlined area for each statement to show that you understand that you must:

      Caution: If you do not use the primaries and cite them in your paper, you will have an F on the rubric.
__ Follow the instructions in this link and in the file provided for your Analysis.
__ Follow each of the 5 Good Habits for Evidence.
2. Your safe subject is: Examine changing views of racism as revealed by 3 primaries

Blackboard	Primaries That You Must Use and Cite in Your Paper. (To find the, go in Blackboard. If you need help, just ask.	Shortened Phrases to Use When Citing	
Unit	Chapter #

3	25	1956 Branch Rickey on Why He Choose Jackie Robinson for this Team and This Moment to Change America	Branch Rickey	

4.  You should have 3 sets of pages numbers from the textbook, one set for each primary. List the pages from the textbook that you know you are going to use in your Analysis. 
To do this, you:
•	First, use the index at the back of the book to locate pages in the textbook that apply to each primary. The topic with these primaries frequently requires essential content on the document and context or responses to that document by groups such as African Americans or by the government or by world opinion.
•	Second, read each page to determine if the page has information not only on the primary, but also on the safe subject provided in # 2 above. List specific pages (example: p. 102). 
•	Third, if a page does apply, list it with the correct primary below.
•	Fourth, when you write, you use the information and cite the pages following the instructions for citing.
Caution: You can see the Turnitin Assignment for the proposal now, but you will not be able to see the Turnitin Assignment for the Analysis itself until the instructor reviews this file.
