Follow the specific instructions below. Please do not write a generic paper. Instead, divide your project into three specific sections that clearly, concisely answer the following questions.  
1) Introduction: (5 points)
Introduce your topic, describe the major/relevant issues and identify your research questions.
-What are you researching?
-What are the major/relevant themes/issues mentioned in what youve found?
-Why are you choosing to focus on it in this course?
-What are 3 questions you used to guide your research? 
Minimum Requirements: > 3 images
2) Annotated Section: 5 sources total (15 points)  
Cite and annotate (make notes about) 5 sources. List the source (author, date, title, journal, publisher, and URL if its a website), at least one source must be peer-reviewed!! Answer the following questions about each source: 
-What is the source about, or what is the authors point? 
-How does this specific source contribute to your research? What did you learn from it? 
Minimum Requirements: > 7 images total, at least 3 must be maps or spatial graphics and at least one of those must be your infographic or map that you made.
3) Interpretation and Conclusion: (15 Points)
Finally, summarize what all of these sources says about your topic. Try to use examples, analogies, etc. directed at these questions:
-Having completed your research, what have you learned? 
-What does what youve learned have to do with themes, concepts or issues weve covered in class?
-What claims can you make about your topic and the Geographies of the Western World more generally? What are the limitations of your study?
