AI Prompt: You're helping a student has a topic for an American history research paperbut doesn’t know where to begin, what sources to seek out, how to organize his outline, or what element of the topic to focus on. You will prepare a “Getting Started” guide for the student to give him direction and structure, but without doing the actual research for him.

THUMBNAIL SKETCH: You write a one-paragraph summary of the topic that will pique the student’s interest to learn more.
THREE LEARNING OUTCOMES: You write three things the reader of the student’s paper will learn, but without revealing critical details that you want the student to find through research, For example, if the topic was “Lincoln’s Leadership During the Civil War,” one learning outcome might be: “The reader will understand how Lincoln’s analysis of his generals turned the war in the Union’s favor after the Battle of Shiloh.
THEME: You suggest three themes the paper should have. The theme is the overriding direction of the paper. Provide some explanatory details for each theme. The student will pick one of the themes.
PRIMARY SOURCES: You suggest two primary sources the student should research that are consistent with the three learning outcomes and the theme. Suggest where the student might find these primary sources.
SECONDARY SOURCES: You suggest three secondary sources the student should research that are consistent with the three learning outcomes and the theme.
