Research
Students will:
1) find and interpret credible research sources
2) integrate them purposefully in support of their own literary analysis
3) document these sources correctly using MLA format.
Professionalization
Students will effectively employ the appropriate conventions of style, form, and tone in literary scholarship in written and oral communications.
Writing
Students will construct a conference length (8-10 page) paper employing purposeful rhetorical moves to develop a coherent and logical argument that makes a significant literary claim.
Process
Students will mature as writers as they devise productive and flexible individual and collaborative processes of writing, including methods for gathering evidence, organizing their argument, prewriting, drafting, revising, editings, proofreading, and peer reviewing.
