I will provide the sources, past assignments, notes from class, class textbook and all rubrics and directions. PLEASE ADD 1 OR 2 PRIMARY SOURCES. My research topic and question: Suburbanization and the development of the Persian Jewish community in Encino and Tarzana, Los Angeles County
How did post–World War II suburbanization in Encino and Tarzana shape the growth and settlement of the Persian Jewish community following the Iranian Revolution?

1. The 12-15 page paper as described above.
Some Tips:
- This is an academic paper and the expectation is that it will be written and organized like an academic paper. What does that mean?
- Full paragraphs (A topic sentence, body sentences - normally 3-5 depending on your writing ability, and a transition sentence). This means NO TINY PARAGRAPHS.
- No random spacing. There is no need for spaces between paragraphs.
- A title page, page numbers, etc.
- An intro, a conclusion, etc.
- Extensive citations. You are not experts on any of these subjects and need to be citing your work.
- There is absolutely no possible way that you should be struggling to meet the page count. If you are, then you have not done the work that is expected of you.
- Avoid history lesson. Give historical background but say why it MATTERS. Have an arguement
Final paper: intro should be clear about what's happening in the paper, conclusion should reiterate and wrap it up, extensive citations
