GRADING:  <\/span><\/span>Your performance on this assignment will be evaluated based on the following criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Argument:  <\/span><\/span>IT IS CRUCIAL that you develop an argumentative thesis\u2014this is a point you can support that is not obvious or just about the plot.  <\/span><\/span>Consider questions that ask \u201chow\u201d or \u201cwhy\u201d rather than \u201cwhat?\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Logic and organization:  <\/span><\/span>While some plot detail can illuminate your argument, you want to avoid retelling the story.  <\/span><\/span>Each paragraph should be relevant to your main argument; sub-arguments should not be repeated. Think of your paper as a place to prove your argument, and organize your evidence so that it will be most convincing!  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Evidence:  <\/span><\/span>Good readings usually zoom in on specific passages, drawing conclusions from close reading.  <\/span><\/span>You <\/span>must<\/b> <\/span>use quotations from the text your paper discusses, taking care that your quotes support the points that you are making.    <\/span><\/span>Plot summary is not evidence!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Tone:  <\/span><\/span>While your writing should be more exact and formal than in-class conversations, there is no need for stilted, bombastic prose.  <\/span><\/span>A clear, accessible style generally yields a stronger essay than a style dependent on unwieldy sentences and pedantic language.  <\/span><\/span>I think it is perfectly acceptable to use the first-person, occasional contractions, and your own voice.  <\/span><\/span>Do make sure that this comfortable writing still makes intelligent points and moves beyond opinion into ANALYSIS!  <\/span><\/span>Writing that does not strive for a scholarly tone often leaves too much up to the reader to figure out; recall that your job here is to COMMUNICATE ideas!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
