paper topic, your name, date, name of class, and professor’s name. Do not put this
information in your paper. The end of your paper should include a reference
(bibliography) page, which lists the sources you used. You should use Chicago citation
style throughout your paper and in your reference section. You should number ALL
pages of your paper. The title page should be numbered 0 but you do not need to show

page number.
