ENGL 102
Research Paper Instructions
You must complete the required textbook readings in
preparation for the Research Paper. This will equip you to
objectively respond to the readings by compiling information
from a variety of sources in order to compose a persuasive
analysis of a literary work. You will also learn to follow
standard usage in English grammar and sentence structure;
proceed independently through the various stages of research
and integrate sources accurately and effectively; identify the
theme and structure of each literary selection as well as the
significant characteristics or elements of each genre studied;
and evaluate the literary merit of a work (Syllabus MLOs: A, B,
C, D, E, F, G and Module/Week 8 LOs: 1, 2).
In Module/Week 7, you will write a 1,500-word (approximately
5 pages) paper that addresses 1 of the plays from the Drama
5. Unit. At least 6 citations, including the primary source and at
least 5 secondary, scholarly sources, are required for this
assignment. Before you begin writing the paper, carefully read
the below guidelines for developing your paper topic. Review
the Research Paper Grading Rubric to see how your submission
will be graded. Gather all of your information, plan the
direction of your paper, organize your ideas by developing a 1-
page thesis statement and outline, draft your paper, and compile
sources used. Format the thesis/outline, draft, and works
cited/references/bibliography using current MLA, APA, or
Turabian style, (whichever corresponds to your degree
program); check your Harbrace Essentials Handbook pp. 106–
158 (MLA); pp. 159–192 (APA); pp. 193–220 (Turabian),
and/or the link contained in the Assignment Instructions Folder,
to ensure the correct citation format is used.
The final paper must include a title page, thesis statement, and
outline, followed by the research paper, and your correctly
documented sources page.
You must submit your thesis, outline, rough draft, and works
cited/references/bibliography by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of
Module/Week 6 for instructor feedback.
You must submit the Research Paper by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on
Monday of Module/Week 7.
Guidelines for Developing Your Paper Topic
The “Writing about Literature” section of your Perrine’s
Literature textbook (pp. 1–54) and the “Writing” section of
Harbrace Essentials (pp. 1–12, 15–16, 18–21, 22–28) provide
helpful pointers for writing your literary essay and for academic
writing in general. Be sure that you have read this section
before doing any further work for this assignment. Take
particular notice of the examples of drama essays on pp. 48–54
of your Perrine’s Literature textbook.
6. Choose 1 (ONE) of the prompts below to address in your paper:
1. Write an essay explaining how Sophocles’ Oedipus
exemplifies or refutes Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero.
Review pp. 1250–1254 and 1257–1258 in your Perrine’s
Literature textbook for the background and overview of
Aristotle’s concept of tragedy/the tragic hero and drama. Then,
re-read Sophocles’ play, Oedipus; you mayreview additional
audio-visual resources on the play as well.
2.
Discuss William Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice as
a tragedy. As defined by Aristotle, is it correct to label Othello
a “tragic hero” and to classify the play as an Aristotelian
tragedy? Review pp. 1250–1254 and 1257–1258 in the Perrine’s
Literature textbook for the background and overview of
Aristotle’s concept of tragedy/the tragic hero and drama. Then,
re-read Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice; you
mayreview additional audio-visual resources on the play as
well.
3. Discuss the author’s perception of death and the treatment of
death in Everyman. Be sure to re-read the play in Module/Week
7 before you begin your essay. You mayreview additional
audio-visual resources on the play as well.
Finding Scholarly Sources
For your papers, you are only permitted to use academic
sources. Resources such as 123Essays, Spark Notes, Cliff Notes,
and Masterplots (or similar resources) are not scholarly and will
not be permitted in your papers. To find appropriate sources,
access the Jerry Falwell Library through the Services/Support
link on the course menu on Blackboard. From there, you can use
the Library Research Portal to find peer-reviewed, scholarly
journals. The Literature Resource Center is an excellent
resource for these types of papers.
If you need additional help finding the right sources, you can
contact a librarian from the Jerry Falwell Library by emailing
your questions to [email protected]. You are also free to visit
7. your local library or do some research on the Internet; however,
you must make sure that you have credible sources. If you are
uncertain, email the source to you instructor in advance.
