Read&nbsp;what&nbsp;other literary critics&nbsp;have&nbsp;said. This&nbsp;will help you&nbsp;to further narrow down&nbsp;your topic,&nbsp;and even to find&nbsp;some&nbsp;of the sources&nbsp;you&nbsp;will end up using in the paper. Remember&nbsp;that&nbsp;you are a literary critic too\u2014this means&nbsp;you&nbsp;should feel&nbsp;free&nbsp;to question and disagree&nbsp;with&nbsp;the interpretations&nbsp;you read.<span style=\"font-weight: bolder; font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Make sure your thesis is one that is&nbsp;<em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">arguable<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>and<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">requires research to effectively answer or prove.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><\/span>Don\u2019t be afraid to take a leap and put forward a new, creative, and\/or unique interpretation, provided you can support that claim with reasonable textual evidence and research. For more information, make sure to review the online learning resources assigned throughout the quarter.&nbsp; &nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Your paper must incorporate information from outside sources found in the literature databases at GMC Library or relevant resources linked in class.<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Remember that you have three methods for incorporating outside information into any paper: you can quote (use the source\u2019s exact words), paraphrase (put the source\u2019s words into your own), or summarize (boil down information from a source to a 1-2 sentence summary in your own words). Also remember that each of these methods needs to be cited using correct MLA formatting and documentation; Review grade feedback on past response papers for help with this!&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;Again, research outside of class is restricted to relevant scholarly articles located at GMC Library.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Avoid&nbsp;unnecessary plot summary and\/or biographical information. Assume that your reader has already read the work you are discussing&#8211; readers don&#8217;t need your help understanding what happens in a story; they need your help understanding why these things happened and what they might mean.<span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Organize your argument to maximize its effectiveness. Your introduction should include a thesis. Each paragraph of your paper should include a topic sentence that references your thesis. Each sentence in each paragraph should directly support that paragraph\u2019s topic sentence.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Finally, don\u2019t forget the little things. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation should be perfect. Edit and revise your work. Manage your time efficiently to allow yourself the opportunity to read and reread your final paper multiple times.<span style=\"font-size: 0.9375rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">As always, contact your instructor whenever you have questions!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem; font-size: 15px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">This assignment will be graded using the Research Paper Rubric located in the Grading Rubrics folder in class.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below are the instructions for the research essay assignment due at the end of week 7.
