Number of sources: Two scholarly secondary research sources, minimum (that’s in addition to your “primary” sources—the essays or stories about which you’re writing). Neither of these may be “free internet” sources, though you may use internet sources in addition to the two required for the assignment. “Scholarly" means that the work is addressed to scholars in the field—for example, a book published by a university or an article published by a college or university. You can access scholarly articles through the college’s library databases. In your library database search, check “scholarly articles only.” The textbook itself cannot count as one of your scholarly sources, and neither can any standard reference work (any sort of encyclopedia). You may not use Wikipedia, which does not meet standards of academic writing.
Number of pages: 4-5 word-processed, double-spaced, not including the works cited.
Format: Correct MLA format and documentation.
Compose an argumentative research paper. By “argumentative,” I mean that you will make one unified claim about an author’s work and back it up with your analysis of his or her work. This is not a report or summary. Your research sources should be used to support your idea; you are not simply telling your reader what other scholars have said.
The topic for the paper is to be of your own design. Choose an author and a work from the reading list for this class, and construct an interpretive reading of the text based on your own interests and concerns. All papers are evaluated for their critical thinking; their understanding of the historical, cultural, and textual material; the extent and effectiveness of their research; and their clear presentation of a well-supported, well-documented thesis.
