You may write either an entirely original interpretation using only the primary source, or you may write a researched critical analysis integrating your own ideas about the primary source with information from secondary sources. Your paper should be organized as an extended essay. You should present a clear thesis that states your interpretation. If you are writing an original interpretation, you should use evidence from the primary source to support and develop your interpretation. If you are writing a researched analysis, you should use evidence from both the primary sources and secondary sources.

When you quote exact words, you must introduce the quote and use quotation marks around it and give proper internal page documentation. When you summarize someone's idea, you must introduce the idea and give proper internal page documentation.
