In determining the grade for the paper, I will consider form (mechanics, grammar), content, documentation, and process. Each will affect the final grade for the paper.

Research papers will have a body of seven to ten (7-10) pages. The paper must also have an outline, and Works Cited page. (These pages are NOT considered as part of the body page count.) You will find a sample research paper, including a sample Works Cited page at the Purdue OWL website. Their website also offers information about outlining; be sure to click through the three subsections regarding outlining. The order of pages in the paper is the outline, body of the paper,  then the works cited page. These are all to be saved and sent to me as one document.
The final Works Cited page will contain seven to eight (7-8) sources, academic, peer reviewed, Journal Articles. The sources will be derived from appropriate books, periodicals, etc., to denote a variety of sources used; you are expected to begin your

SUMMARY

In this short essay, youll answer the question, How has the place you consider home influenced your identity (i.e. your personality, beliefs, actions, thoughts)?

MAIN COMPONENTS

You will need to (1) describe your homeplace so that your readers can form a richly detailed picture in their heads of what it is like (or was like, if it has changed over time), and (2) interpret the significance of what has happened in that place: How has it influenced your identity?  Your values?  Your understanding of home?

You might begin by considering what home means to you.  Does home mean where you are living right this second, or do you think of some previous residence and location?  Does it mean where you grew up?  Is it where generations of your family are rooted?  If not, is it a person, a group of friends, an online community, a mental or spiritual sanctuary, or a combination of these things?
