    HAITI RESEARCH PROJECT 

    OVERVIEW: 

    For this project, you will be researching a ​specific​ topic on Haiti (it can be from 
    ANY point in Haitian history) and making a website. You’ll ask a question about 
    the topic that will frame the website and its pages. The question can either be 
    about a debate/issue surrounding the topic, or a​ h ​ istoriography​ of your topic. 

    Some topics will have clear debates- for example, for U.S. relations with Haiti: 
    “to what extent was the United States involved in the overthrow of President 
    Aristide?” Other topics, such as women’s rights, won’t necessarily have an 
    argumentative question. In this case, you would ask: “how have women’s 
    rights changed throughout Haiti’s history?” Whatever question you decide to 
    ask, you will explore it on your website through primary and secondary 
    sources-​here is a list of books in the library, PDFs, primary sources, and 
    articles that have been compiled for you. 

    An additional part of your project grade will be based on your SRQ of someone 
    else’s website (more below). You’ll do this after you submit your website. 

    Here are some possible topics, although you can ​choose your own as long as 
    you confirm with me first: 

    reparations, Aristide Era, 2004 coup, gangs/crime/drugs, women’s rights, worker's 


    rights, culture (voodoo, art, religion, etc.), education, cholera outbreak, HIV/AIDS, 
    deforestation, relationship with French government, U.S. occupation(s), U.S. 
    interference in elections, fortification from natural disasters, NGOs in Haiti, Duvalier 
    Era, earthquake 

    PART 1: CREATE YOUR WEBSITE (​HERE’S AN EXAMPLE)​ and 


    another​ and a
    ​ nother​ and ​one more​.  
     

    WHAT YOU NEED: 


    ● WEBSITE TITLE: ​something catchy followed by a question (i.e. 
    Overthrow: To what extent was the U.S. involved in the 2004 Haitian 
    coup?) 
    ● HOMEPAGE WITH AN INTRODUCTION: A ​ t least one paragraph giving a 
    background of your topic, and at least one paragraph introducing the 
    question. 
    ● SUBSECTIONS: ​you will need at least FOUR subsections that fall under 
    your topic. Each of these will be a ​page o​ n your website. Using the 
    women’s rights example, each page could be a time period (18th century, 
    19th century, 20th century, 21st century) 
    ○ TEXT​: 1-2 paragraph explanation/background (using B ​ OOKS​ (!!!!) 
    and a
    ​ rticles​ as sources) 
    ○ PRIMARY SOURCES: e ​ very page will need at least TWO primary 
    sources that add to your explanations. This can include anything 
    from historical or legal documents, eyewitness accounts, data, 
    emails, interviews, Wikileaks, audio and video recordings, etc. 
    Primary sources are f​ actual​, whereas secondary sources are 
    interpretive. 
    ○ REMEMBER TO USE CORRECTLY FORMATTED CHICAGO-STYLE 
    FOOTNOTES! 
    ● CONCLUSION PAGE:​ 2-3 paragraph response that answers your main 
    question. Think of this as a mini-essay. The response should be 
    argumentative (not a summary). You need topic sentences and evidence 
    (that you used on your website). 
    ● Work cited PAGE:​ Chicago format 
    ● Be creative! Add pictures, videos, maps, captions, etc. You’ll be sharing 
    your website with the whole class. 

    PART 2: SRQ​ Look through your classmates’ websites. Find one that 
    interests you and write up an SRQ: 

    ● 1 paragraph S
    ​ UMMARY​ of the topic, based on what you read 
    ● 1 paragraph R​ EFLECTION​ on what you read (respond to their 
    question-what do you think? 
    ● 3-5 Q
    ​ UESTIONS​ on what you read
