RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS

 

In Module/Week 7, you will write a 1,500-word (approximately 5 pages) paper that addresses 1 of the plays from the Drama Unit.

 

At least 6 citations, including the primary source and at least 5 secondary, scholarly sources, are required for this assignment. Before you begin writing the paper, carefully read the below guidelines for developing your paper topic. Review the Research Paper Grading Rubric to see how your submission will be graded. Gather all of your information, plan the direction of your paper, organize your ideas by developing a 1-page thesis statement and outline, draft your paper, and compile sources used.

 

Format the thesis/outline, draft, and works cited/references/bibliography using current MLA, APA, or Turabian style, (whichever corresponds to your degree program); check your Harbrace Essentials Handbook pp. 106–158 (MLA); pp. 159–192 (APA); pp. 193–220 (Turabian), and/or its companion website, MindTap, to ensure the correct citation format is used.

 

 

 

 

 

Guidelines for Developing your Paper Topic

 

The “Writing about Literature” section of your Perrine’s Literature textbook (pp. 1–54) and the “Writing” section of Harbrace Essentials (pp. 1–12, 15–16, 18–21, 22–28) provide helpful pointers for writing your literary essay and for academic writing in general. Be sure that you have read this section before doing any further work for this assignment. Take particular notice of the examples of drama essays on pp. 48–54 of your Perrine’s Literature textbook.

to access the Liberty University Library

This is where you can find peer-reviewed, scholarly journals.

Choose 1 of the prompts below to address in your paper:

 

 

Choice #1

 

Write an essay explaining how Sophocles’ Oedipus exemplifies Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero, OR how Oedipus commits wrongdoing by his own volition / free will.  Review pp. 1,250–1,254 and 1,257–1,258 in your Perrine’s Literature textbook for the background and overview of Aristotle’s concept of tragedy/the tragic hero and drama. Then, re-read Sophocles’ play, Oedipus; you may review additional audio-visual resources on the play as well.

 

 

 

 

Choice #2

 

Discuss William Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice as a tragedy. As defined by Aristotle, is it correct to label Othello a “tragic hero” and to classify the play as an Aristotelian tragedy? Review pp. 1,250–1,254 and 1,257–1,258 in the Perrine’s Literature textbook for the background and overview of Aristotle’s concept of tragedy/the tragic hero and drama. Then, re-read Shakespeare’s Othello, the Moor of Venice; you may review additional audio-visual resources on the play as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Choice #3

 

Discuss the author’s perception of death and the treatment of death in Everyman. Be sure to re-read the play in Module/Week 7 before you begin your essay. You may review additional audio-visual resources on the play as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding Scholarly Sources

 

For your papers, you are only permitted to use academic sources. Resources such as 123Essays, Spark Notes, Cliff Notes, and Masterplots (or similar resources) are NOT scholarly and will not be permitted in your papers. To find appropriate sources, access the Jerry Falwell Library (JFL) through the Services/Support link on the course menu on Blackboard. From there, you can use the JFL Library Research Portal to find peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. The Literature Resource Center is an excellent resource for these types of papers.

 

Scholarly or academic sources come from a library database.  They may be articles listed in the database.  They may be a book of essays on a specific author or work; for this type of academic source, list each essay individually—do not list the entire book as a single source.  The reasoning behind this is that these essay collections were once published as individual articles in scholarly journals.

 

Local libraries (town / city / county / community college / state college) may have some of these sources available to students.  Most of them allow community members to access them.

 

The How To sheets tell how to access the Liberty University Library online (JFL).

 

 

 

 

 

Additional Help

 

If you need additional help finding the right sources, you can contact a librarian from the Jerry Falwell Library (JFL) by emailing your questions to research@liberty.edu. You are also free to visit your local library or do some research on the Internet; however, you must make sure that you have credible sources. If you are uncertain, email the source to the instructor in advance.
