Essay Draft Assignment

due end of week 6

Originality (no more than 20 – 30% content is cited or quoted), academic tone and proper use of APA for in-text citations and list of references are major aspects of this assignment.

The essay content must be five to seven double-spaced pages in length

(not including the title page or reference pages).

Include list of references identified from Annotated Bibliography Assignments.

Only list the reference in APA format (no annotated commentary)

The margins should be no more than one in. (right and left). The essay should be composed in 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font. All of the sources must be documented and cited using APA format.

Writing for the Humanities: Composing for the humanities is “technical” in its own way. Students are to read broadly in philosophy, art, literature, political science, and history and are to show that they can bridge conceptually across humanistic inquiry, innovate meanings that are not apparent at the surface of texts, locate controversies and conflicts that are worthy of researched exploration, and show depth of contemplative thought and character in conducting work of this kind.

Content

Quotations from Resources

Content

Paragraphs are composed around topics, which naturally and organically emerge from a complex, focused, and sophisticated thesis.

Each paragraph explores one topic and one topic only.

Topics directly relate TO the thesis and are not theses in

and of themselves.

The paragraph completely and fully develops and explains the topic and provides details, examples, illustrations, and quotations from research as well as from the primary texts.

Topics and paragraphs rise above commonplace thinking and summary.

Quoted material is used powerfully to support analytical points (and not as padding).

There is a graceful transition to the next paragraph. The ideas explored are significant, substantive, and instructive.

Ideas/topics support the overarching thesis so that the paper is a unified whole, and not a concatenation of appended mini-essays.

At least 2 quotes included that were identified in the Annotations Assignments
