Choose 1 of the following prompts to guide your project (Attached). You should take on an analytical project.
Analytical Options
Analytical projects will be graded using the Research Project Essay rubric.
Analytical Option 1: Revision. Choose 1 of your first 3 essays and substantially revise and expand it. It should be at least 500 words longer than your original, and the thesis should also change substantially to accommodate your research. When trying to decide how to incorporate the peer reviewed sources you find, think of the essay as a conversation with those sources, and focus your revision around constructing a cohesive, thesis-driven response to the views of those sources.
These could include:
another work by the same author
a work that deals with a shared theme, setting, or character
a film version of the work
a song inspired by the work
Remember that the two primary works will not count toward the peer reviewed source requirement. You must have 3 peer reviewed sources IN ADDITION to your main work and comparative work.
In addition to meeting the general requirements outlined above, all analytical essays must:
Be thesis-driven
Incorporate both close reading of the focal text and engaged discussion of the required peer reviewed sources
