The topic is The assassination of Abraham Lincoln , write a short paragraph in your journal explaining what your idea is and
how you plan to cover it. Also, include some ideas for sources you can use when researching your topic.
Jot down a potential research question, or maybe even two, to help guide your research. When you're
finished, hold on to the paragraph so you can use it to start planning your essay. Your paragraph should
be no more than 100 words, but should be very detailed about your ideas for your topic.
