=Plan of the Investigation (100-150 Words) Tips]=

In this investigation, the Vietnam War and the Hippie Movement will be considered. I´ve chosen the film "Forrest Gump" in order to evaluate the usefulness of this film for a historian studying these two particular topics of the American history as the significance and the relationship between both of them. There are some reasons for this choice: one it's because Forrest Gump is one of my favourite films and also it's the mai reason why I became interested in American History. So? In this paragraph you MUST start by saying why you chose this topic for your IA

I´ve decided to structure the investigation in a way that will allow me to consider the Vietnam War and the Hippie movement separately in two different sections. Finally a section evaluating both topics together will be also included. (you really must elaborate on this - how exactly are you structuring SECTION D? As it stands this paragraph is much too generalised)

The main sources for the investigation will be the two extracts from the film, one about the Vietnam War and the other about the Hippie movement; however some others will be eventually used as an oral testimony from John Kerry, a Vietnam Veteran, and the book, in order to evaluate and contrast different aspects of the film. This is insufficient. In this paragraph you need to be outlining EXACTLY what sources you will be using (books, websites, albums for lyrics and so on).
