The Method Proposal is a list of sources that you hope will have the information you need.

A. Books and Articles. Put your cards in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name; then type up the list. (But keep the cards!)

B. Interviews, Personal Experiences, and Documents: List them by order of importance, with a description of what you’ve found, whom you expect to interview, what questions you plan to ask, etc.

C. Internet Sources: You must give both the full citation--the name of the person and/or organization that put the information on the Web, the title, the date it was put there, the URL (for example: "www.nytimes.com"), and any other relevant information.

Please attach your Topic Proposal to your Method Proposal. They will be returned to you with suggestions.
