Derrick's Homepage : Interpreting Lit Homepage : Papers Homepage Back to the English Department Homepage

There are two analyses due during term. These build upon work you have already done in your weekly responses and in your connection papers. I will post the assigments here as they come up during term. Note that you must use work from your responses or connection papers in your analyses. I use the same grading rubric for both of the papers.

Here you are focusing on the interpretation of issues within a single text. See the assignments for full descriptions.

Assignment for Analysis Paper 1. Due in class on ____.

Assignment for Analysis Paper 2. Due in class on ____.

Format: Papers should be 2-4 pages, formatted in MLA Style, typed in a professional font (11 to 12 point, Times New Roman), and have 1" margins all the way around. MLA Style, which applies to both layout and documentation, is described in your writing handbook, and we have reviewed in in class. For a refresher, read this on how to quote. Not following this style will adversely affect your grade. The page requirement is not arbitrary, and not following it will hurt your grade: one goal of this course is to be able to manage an argument with this much information.
