Module 6: The Literary Analysis Paper

In this module, we explore key literary concepts and skills. Through discussion, we'll deepen our knowledge.

Prepare: As you prepare to write your discussion, take a few moments to review the content covered regarding the following topics:

1. Requirements for writing a literary analysis research paper.

2. Literary focus.

3. Literary personality.

4. The steps for writing a literary analysis research paper. 

Reflect: Take time to reflect on how requirements for writing a literary analysis research paper, literary focus, literary personality, and the steps for writing a literary analysis research paper have affected how you communicate with others and, perhaps, how you believe others respond to you.

Write: Based on the content in this module, write at least two sentences on each of the five concepts or skills listed in  Prepare.  In the first sentence, write a summary of what the concept is or means to you. In the second sentence, give a specific example of how you experienced or applied the concept from your reading and writing.

Respond: Respond to posts of at least two classmates. The goal is for each of you to get two different responses. If someone already has two, responses, choose first a classmate with no responses, then a classmate with only 1 response. When you respond, point out what you have in common, and say why you think you and your classmate might have a similar experience. Then choose one element of your classmate's post that differs from your experience and say what you learned from that difference.

Write a reply for each response you receive, letting your respondent know what their response helped you see and think.

 

Remember to review the  academic expectations  for your submission.
