Writing a Paper • Writing a paper does not have to be a difficult process. • Make sure that you give yourself enough time to brainstorm, write, edit, and REVISE! • Your paper will be due next week on Friday. • This means that you should have PLENTY of time to write an ORIGINAL and QUALITY paper!
Guidelines For Your First Paper! • Often in literature, character relationships change and evolve. • From the literary works you have read, choose one in which a character's feelings toward another character change. Write an essay in which you explain: – How the character's feelings changed, – Why the feelings changed, – How this change affects the work as a whole. – Include specific examples from the work of literature you have chosen to support your points. • Also include the title of the work and the work's author.
Start By Brainstorming • There a TON of ways you can pre-right, but you need to make sure that you find some way that works for you. • Take some time to go on Google, or talk with me during class and we can come up with a good way for you to outline your paper. • Brainstorming will help you stay organized and make your paper flow much better.
Come Up With Your Thesis • Your thesis is perhaps the most important part of your paper. • The more time you spend refining your thesis, the easier your life is going to be when you start writing. • It doesn’t have to be perfect right away, but make sure it is good enough to base a paper on before you start writing!
