 * Topic**

Your paper should be divided into 3 to 6 “sub-topics” so that your paper is easier to read and understand. When coming up with these subtopics, ask yourself, “What do I already know about this person? If I don’t know anything about this person, what would I want to know? If I were tying to understand this person and his or her contributions/influence, what are some things I would need to say in my paper?”
