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. The sources will be derived from appropriate books, periodicals, etc., to denote a variety of sources used; you are expected to begin your research with the CTC library's online data

For this assignment, write an annotated bibliography based on your topic for your final research paper on the novel you chose to read. An annotated bibliography combines the citations found in the Works Cited list at the end of your paper in MLA format with annotations about each of the sources. 



Your annotated bibliography will consist of the sources that you have deemed relevant to your research topic. Include a minimum of ten annotations. 

Cite the source in proper MLA format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author (or title, if no author), just as you would for an MLA Works Cited page.
Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (3-5 sentences) in your own words and includes any important information youd like to remember. 
In 1-2 sentences, explain the sources relevance and importance to your research paper. 
Be sure to use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

c.    Discuss three of the various identities in the label LGBTQQIA

Write a 750-1000 word essay which demonstrates how your novel follows the steps of narrative structure (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution/denouement).

Include an outline and Works Cited page where you will list the novel you are discussing.
You must use MLA format, but you are not to use outside sources for this paper; this is your own analysis.
Cite examples from your text in support of your argument, either as direction quotations or paraphrases.
This is not simply a summary of the story. Instead, you should identify how each part of the narrative structure develops in the story.
Do not confuse this essay with your research paper. This essay is totally your own thinking from studying the steps of narrative structure and reading the novel. Your research paper reflects the conclusions you draw from information gleaned in your research and is on a selected topic other than narrative structure.

Read the attached to this week 16 (FILES) "Malthus and Slavery.PDF" file and  respond to the following questions:

What is a book review?

A review is a critical evaluation of a text. Reviews can consider books, articles, entire genres or fields of literature, architecture, art, fashion, restaurants, policies, exhibitions, performances, and many other forms. This handout will focus on Wendy Adamsons Motherload, the book you must review for your 4th assignment.

Above all, a review makes an argument. The most important element of a review is that it is a commentary, not only a summary, though summary is important. It allows you to enter into dialogue and discussion with the works creator and with other audiences. You can offer agreement or disagreement and identify where you find the work exemplary or deficient in its knowledge, judgments, or organization. You should clearly state your opinion of the work in question, and that statement will probably resemble other types of academic writing, with a thesis statement, supportin
