Length and format:
Five-six pages, MLA formatting—12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced, one inch margins.
The Final Draft should be turned in as a hard-copy at the beginning of class on 2/9. You will also hand in the Rough Draft with my comments so that I can see what kind of revisions you made. For the love of everything holy, make sure you staple your paper together.
Requirements:
As you probably know by now, each essay must have a beginning, middle, and end—that is, an introduction, well-developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You should also have a thesis statement that you defend throughout your essay, key terms that you define and incorporate, and two quotesfrom different authors in each paragraph that you connect and interpret.
You will also need to use all three authors in equal measures.
Each body paragraph should first use a theory, or idea quote from one author that helps to explicate your ideas and then an example quote from a different author to help illustrate that idea.
Theory + Example = Good idea
^^^^ Keep this formula in mind at all times…
Topic:
For this paper, using Singer, Yoshino, and Watters, you will explore the relationships between personal/national identity and culture. How are culture and identity related? How is one’s personal identity related to a national one? How does culture influence choice? How does identity influence choice?
You may go in any direction that you like with your topic.
The key terms that you choose to work with will determine your angle and path.
You should announce and define the key terms in your introductory paragraph, and then use those terms throughout the essay to discuss your argument.
