Sport and Church History Essay Research Paper Coursework

I will only need the essay proposal that will 1-2 pages long. Once I get feedback from the teacher, I will contact you again so that you can start with the actual 25 pages essay.
I would like the essay to talk about a sport & church in the 1940s

Your proposal indicates a preliminary start with the primary sources
but the poster and final paper will have to
incorporate a lot more
than you have listed here. You should keep
searching for more and as
you do your reading and research, you should
find more in authors'
footnotes and references.
You need not send me another revision of the proposal. Please now get on with the reading and research.

As a start, even before that, you could investigate Google Scholar online and type in a word search:
"Catholic Church and sports Chicago"
Here is one relevant book, a secondary source,
which you should read
and look at the footnotes to discover the
primary sources that the
chapter contributors used:
https://books.aooale.com/books/about/
Sports in Chicago.html?id=iY6BK0FZS-EC
The issue is to locate primary sources that are accessible to you
online and/or are in the library at York.
Without using extensive primary sources, this research paper will not receive a passing grade.

Sport and Church
Your revised proposal contains a more focused topic for the research
paper and it seems to be a manageable one. However, the purpose of the proposal was to get students also to search for primary sources
that would serve as the main content of the paper, along with
secondary sources that would provide the
background context and
history.
What you have sent me here indicates that you might have a feasible
topic, and it is certainly interesting, but it still does not provide
a list of primary sources that would provide assurance that the essay can be written based on those sources. The items you list are
secondary sources. It is necessary for you to find items that were
written during the time period this essay aims to treat, 1890s to
1930s. To do this, you should search the York Library catalogue. You
might consider contacting Scott McLaren, the librarian for History
with whom we had the library research seminar, for some assistance.

Re: Sport and ChurchPrimary sources are the most important
element of a History research
paper. Your proposal has the framework for
approaching your topic but
you must have primary sources. You should
read the secondary sources
to understand how the attitudes of the Catholic
Church towards sport
and the body developed and were expressed as a start, but you will
have to find and use the primary sources.
Remember, too, that the
essay has to deal with North America —
Canada and the United States.

Drafting and Writing a Research Paper
This assignment gives you an opportunity to undertake an original piece of research and writing on a topic of your choice that grows out of the material covered in this course. Your paper may deal with any aspect of North American social thought from the late 19th century through to 1940. You may examine the work of individuals, social or cultural groups, a particular theme, tradition, school of thought, or orm of communication.
Writing a research paper requires several stages of thinking, organizing, reorganizing, and drafting. The possessions will give you an opportunity to clarify and explain the thcanes and issues of the paper and provide you with feedback from others that will help you write the final draft.
Because of the paper’s length, it is necessary to give yourself an ample amount of time for the final stages of writing. In a paper of this nature, the key to success is good organization and presentation m the
writing.
Your paper should contain an introduction that explains the scope of the paper and your central thesis (or overarching analytical argument). The conclusion should summarize what your paper revealed about your topic. The body of the paper should be divided into no more than three or four sections: sections can be delineated either with subheadings or distinctive paragraph breaks (e.g., roman numerals). Ensure that links between sections are made through transitional sentences.
Throughout your paper be sure that you link the material you are presenting to your overall thesis.
It is extremely important that information from primary sources is integrated into the overall argument or thesis of your paper instead of standing out as bits and pieces. Sometimes historians liken writing research papers to constructing a building: bricks and mortar. Bricks must be cemented together with mortar but you want your readers - your audience - to appreciate the overall architectural accomplishment and
n0t y ?e cks and mortar So th*nk about how you’re putting it all toeethcr how does
