You should avoid unnecessary biographical information and plot summary. Your paper should be an analysis of the text.

Use of Research

You must use at least 5 secondary sources that provide critical arguments about the reading you’ve chosen. These sources should ONLY come from the GMC library or library databases.

Your secondary sources should be used sparingly to either support or explain your thesis.

You may quote, paraphrase, or summarize your sources. For more information, view the Purdue OWL’s website: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/1/.

Your paper must be formatted according to MLA format.

You must include a works-cited page at the end of your paper. Your works-cited should include your secondary sources and the assigned reading you’ve chosen.

All written assignments should be mechanically and grammatically correct with proper punctuation.

For more information on each of these, you should view the Purdue OWL’s General Writing Resources page: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/1/.

Structure

The introduction should include a clear thesis statement.

Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that relates back to the thesis. The information in each paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.

Before you begin writing, I recommend that you write an outline to organize your ideas. Doing this will help you write a logical, well-organized essay.

Your research paper topic proposal is due this week. For the proposal, you will write a paragraph (at least 150 words) that identifies your topic, tentative thesis, and reason for choosing your topic.
