Assignment Details:

1. Use the suggested topics below or suggest one of your own.
2. You should use specifics from the texts you discuss, but you do not need and should not use outside source material. If you do and it isn’t cited, you’ll fail the paper immediately.
3. Be sure that you have a point you want to make about the topic you choose. Then, choose careful examples to support your point. Make sure you cite your support from the texts carefully.
4. Both your introduction and conclusion should keep your readers’ attention. The introduction should state your point and roadmap your paper while the conclusion should explain why your point was important.

Criteria for success:

1) You should have a strong point to make about your topic, and be able to support it. Any A.I. will not be accepted.

2) Your support should be from the text (along with any outside sources you might choose), and should be cited properly and integrated smoothly into your text.

3) Depending on your topic, your thesis should focus on the connection between your reading, contemporary issues, and the point you want to make.

4) Organize your paper clearly, and be sure to provide an effective conclusion.
