Instruction
This paper should be 2 pages, double-spaced, with 12-point Times font and 1-inch margins. Write to a university-educated reader who has not read these works. Your paper should include an introductory paragraph ending in a thesis sentence, a number of “body” paragraphs that flesh out the argument and provide evidence (quotes) from the text, and a concluding paragraph. Document references from the texts (quotes and paraphrases) with a parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence, ie (TOM 36) or (Shelley 56). (For the purposes of this assignment, you can cite either the author or our textbook as a whole— abbreviated as TOM for Trials of Modernity). Do use quotes as supporting evidence, but be sure to introduce the quote, then quote the material, then comment on it again. Do not use long “block” quotes: doing so is not a rhetorically effective technique in such a short paper. Feel free to summarize overall points in your own words and include a citation at the end if you’re unclear if this constitutes paraphrasing. The paper will be graded according to the attached rubric in files below. Due at Midnight wednesday the seventh but if done by friday thats ok.
