Instructions
This assignment is for an OUTLINE, NOT an ESSAY. If you submit an essay, you will receive a zero.
For your mid-term essay, you will expand on your choice of Exit Ticket discussion board, assignments, or class discussions. You must evaluate any of our primary readings and use your choice of literary criticism (you can use just one or several) to support your thesis. This unit on choosing and narrowing papers may prove helpful.
This essay should rely ONLY on the materials provided in this course. No additional sources are permitted.
Your essay should focus on our readings and on the criticism we have studied. You must demonstrate the correct integration of source support in-text and in parenthetical citation, but no Works Cited page is required.
