Important Guidelines

Format

Organize this material into a 4 page formal research paper.

It should be double-spaced with a 1” margin and type size should not exceed 12 pts.

Art History, as a discipline, utilizes the MLA style.

Sources

Please use at least two book and unlimited internet resources. Make sure to gather your resources early as we don’t have a lot of information on the Wonders since only one remains – you may have to use an interlibrary loan at your local library. Don’t forget about unconventional sources like children’s books for great illustrations of what these wonders may have looked like, journals, magazines, periodicals, websites, and even videos.

Always cite your sources!

Please read the document, “Important-Tips to Avoid Plagiarism” located in the Content section.

Please note: Wikipedia and other "Wiki-" websites are not acceptable sources of information for any assignment in this class.
