You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes

 * Rewrite lead section (will be doing this last, as the lead needs to summarize the article, and it will be easiest to summarize an article that I've finished working on) (to the best of my ability with the short time I have given myself)
 * Shuffle article sections to new structure:
 * Lead
 * Origins (rename "Origins and Development")
 * Terminology (rename "Etymology")
 * Development in Hebrew
 * Notable Exponents
 * Structure (rename "Narrative Structure")
 * Illustrations (rename "Illuminated Manuscripts")
 * Captions
 * Influences (incl. Shadow Play subsection)
 * History (this is where the "Illustrated Manuscripts" section at the end should go)
 * Impact on Contemporary Literature (I'll be writing this one from scratch -- it will not be very long, but I think it bears mentioning that the maqama genre is not totally dead, and I'd like to point people to authors who have contributed to it in the last hundred years)
 * Sections I will be revising are the Lead section, Origins, Terminology, and Structure. I will be writing the Impact section from scratch. I will rewrite some sentences throughout to add clarity and add notes where citations are needed. I'd like to continue working on this article beyond this class (especially since I'm focusing on the literary aspect of maqama rather than the illustrated manuscripts, which is why I assume this article was listed for an art history course), but this is probably the amount of work I will be able to complete before the due date.
