-It needs to be somewhat narrowed because your paper is only going to be 3 ½-5 pages long. For instance, you cannot choose “England” or “William Shakespeare.” These topics are too broad. You could, however, choose to write about a particular English war or a span of ten years of Shakespeare’s life.======

You must submit 2-3 possible topics for me to approve. For each topic suggestion you will write the following:
 * 1) **Topic**
 * 2) **Main ideas you will be writing about**: What key points are you going to discuss about this topic? Why is this person/place/event/etc. important in England or England’s history?
