Paper (20%)
This paper is an individual assignment. Your final paper (including references list) is due on December 3rd. Papers must be submitted as a typed, hard copy.
The paper should be approximately 2000 words in length and must follow MLA formatting and citation guidelines throughout. The paper must contain the following elements:
- An introduction including a thesis statement that takes a clear position on the chosen topic.
- At least 4 secondary sources. These sources should be scholarly in nature (if you are not sure what this means or have difficulty finding sources, see me for assistance).
- Close reading of text and image.
- A works cited list.
Should you require assistance with the research process or with narrowing down your topic, I am more than happy to provide guidance.
