Midterm Assignment!

I gave a paper copy of this midterm paper if you were in the lab; however, I wanted to attach it here (below) as well, in case anyone left early, was absent, or prefers a digital one (word file on D2L). 

REMEMBER to ask questions!!! We will have midterm workshop days. Stay strong. Push through. Not long until Spring Break!!!

ENGL 2130 Midterm Essay (Minimum 6 FULL pages- Maximum 8 FULL pages).

Any of the texts we will have covered/ been quizzed upon &/or discussed on the blog (from the course calendar) are open topics for your midterm analysis paper.

You must PERSONALLY analyze them; put your voice/ opinions (obviously then, 1^st person is acceptable; just try not to overuse).

MLA formatting required (no cover sheet!); we will review PowerPoint for a refresher for those that haven’t had in 1010/1020 in awhile or just NEED a brush up.

Must have quotations correctly incorporated: OCM.

2 sources (Norton —must be one). Other, your other “text!”

I want NO random analysis from some website, blog, book. I want what you think/thought & reflected upon (perhaps more after our discussions/ quizzes/blogs).

Further, you will compare &/or contrast this chosen work/ author to a text, song, work of literature, politics, article [journal/newspaper/magazine], etc…

I want this to be very personal, yet concise—while thoroughly analyzing the text(s).

Literature can be in many different forms. The point of this is show how many things can be influenced by former “old,” perhaps not even classically recognized American literature works.

Happy researching. Ask ANY questions ASAP! Do not procrastinate.

Final Draft due March 17^th.
