The Construction of Khufu’s Pyramid

Order Description
This paper will discuss the the construction of the pyramid and it must include at least 4 source (2 primary and 2 secondary); sources must from authority website which viewed by lot of people,
like JSTOR or Google Scholar.
the following is my unfinished outline from my previous assignment:
The outline
-Introduction to Egypt’s Pyramid Age
-The inside and outside of the Pyramid
-Architectural ideas of the Pyramid builders and Mechanical methods of the Pyramid builders

The following is professor’s instruction of the paper Must take a look before you write it

It is to be between 5 and 7 pages (NO MORE & NO LESS). Do not use: large/small fonts, abnormal spacing, massive chapter subdivisions, outlines/numbered sequence points etc.) Do not use extended
quotes (meaning more than a few lines). Double spacing, 12 point fonts and 1 inch margins are the maximum.
You must turn in 1 hard copy in class AND 1 electronic copy through Safe Assignment.

For the paper you must use 4 sources:
2 secondary sources meaning scholarly books written by a university professor. Any book in the campus library will fulfill this requirement. If you find books elsewhere and are unsure, look inside
the book since many provide a biography of the author. Also you can check the publisher; if the publisher is a university press it is fine. Journal articles are also acceptable to fulfill this
requirement and the campus library is full of scholarly journals. Another good place to find the journal articles is online on JSTOR which is accessible through the campus library website.
Remember, these articles must come from scholarly journals such as the Journal of Roman Studies or the Journal of Asian Studies. Articles from magazines such as National Geographic or Newsweek do
not count.

With the exception of JSTOR internet sources such as sites like Wikipedia are NOT acceptable and will not fulfill this requirement.

The main textbook and other modern books assigned for this class DO NOT count towards fulfilling this requirement.

Lecture notes DO NOT count as secondary sources. They represent my research and should not be cited in your paper.

You CANNOT use a paper from another class-this must be a new and original paper.
2 primary sources written by someone who was roughly contemporaneous with the topic you are describing. You always want to find eyewitness accounts (if they exist) or accounts written by someone
who was alive during the period of your topic. If these do not exist, then you want to find sources written by someone who lived shortly after the period of your topic. This could mean as much as a
few centuries afterwards since these people would have access to sources that no longer exist today. For example, if you are writing a paper on Julius Caesar you would first use Caesar’s own
accounts of his military campaigns. Then you could also find accounts written by his contemporaries such as Cicero before moving on to later authors who wrote biographies of Caesar or histories of
his time. Some of these authors lived a few centuries later but are still acceptable.

The campus library has a huge selection of primary sources translated into English for all periods of history no matter what your topic. Also, many primary sources are now online. It is acceptable
to use the internet to fulfill the primary source requirement.

Primary sources assigned for this class CAN be used towards fulfilling this requirement.
The first step in finding sources is choosing a topic. Once you have a topic go to the campus library and search the library computer catalogue. For example, if your topic is the Chinese voyages of
Yung-lo look up China and Yung-lo. Sometimes you get lucky and there is a specific book about your topic. In other cases you may find general histories of your period such as, in this case, a
history of China that covers the late 1300’s and early 1400’sAD. Once you find the book or books on the library shelves, you can then find information about your topic. More importantly, these
books can lead you to other secondary and primary sources. Check the bibliographies of the books you found since they will list dozens of secondary sources (books and articles) the author used
which you can then find in the library. Also, the author will discuss in detail the various primary sources for your topic which you can then find in the library or online.
Your paper must have a proper bibliography page at the end (the bibliography page does not count towards the page total). The bibliography must contain all the information about each source you
used. It must include the author’s name (last name first), the year the book was published, the title of the book (in italics), and the publisher. For a journal article, you must include the
author’s name, year published, title (in quotation marks), the name of the journal (in italics), and page numbers. For primary sources either include the above information from the book along with
the name of the translator or the information from the website where you found the source.
In your paper all references and quotes must have proper footnotes. Since there will be a full citation in the bibliography you do not need a full citation in each footnote. Instead in the
footnotes only include the author’s name and the page number where you found your information. If the footnote is from a primary source include the author’s name and page or chapter number. When
trying to decide when to quote the sources, a few “rules of thumb” are useful. You should always cite the sources if you are using information from them that you did not already know (again don’t
cite the lectures). Additionally, cite the sources or offer quotations when you think they enrich or support your point. For instance, if you are describing the cruelty of Caligula, offer a quote
from a source that would make your point. Imagine that you were reading your paper in a presentation and think of the quotes as if they were pictures: whenever you would want to show the audience a
picture to make your point or give them a better idea of what you mean, then add a quote. If you are making claims that may be controversial, then quotes/citations are more important. Chicago, APA
or MLA are all OK.
