Assignment Question

In the “They Say” section, you will write a brief summary of the critical conversation, synthesizing the various arguments made by the scholars from your secondary sources. -You should name specific scholars and their specific arguments, pointing to an overarching debate about how to interpret the literary work. Specify this critical issue. -In the “I Say” section, you will articulate your own thesis. This should be a claim, a response to the critical issue raised in the scholarly debate you describe in the “they say” section. It should be clear how it fits with the critical conversation. -In the “Main Points,” your topic sentences should be argumentative and reflect the overall thesis of the paper (they should not be statements of fact or plot summary). Evidence comes from the literary work itself (in the form of quotations or careful paraphrases). You must explain how each piece of textual evidence supports the argument you are making. -For each main point, there is also a section to record paraphrases of the secondary sources you intend to use as supplemental support, with your explanations of how they interact with the argument you are making. At least five secondary sources should be represented in your outline and final research paper. Provide in-text citations for each quotation and paraphrase and for any idea that is not your own. -Finish the outline with a clear conclusion to the issue and claim you have pursued through the paper. -Include a Works Cited page for each source used. Only works that you have actually cited should be included in a Works Cited page.
