Steps 3-5

Steps 3-5 of the research process are due tomorrow. This includes the following:

Examine, reject, and select individual resources. Select 3 articles of literary criticism and print or photocopy them: These might relate directly or indirectly to your topic. For instance, you might find valuable information in an article that is written about your topic, or in one that discusses the play in general. After you’ve determined that an article contains information that you would like to use in your paper, photocopy or print the article. The articles must be from library books or databases. Please see the library staff or me with questions about source material.

NOTE: YOU MUST BE SURE TO RECORD ALL CITATION INFORMATION FOR YOUR WORKS CITED LIST (See library website for guidelines and examples).

Find at least five, relevant quotes from the play: These should be quotes that present your topic in a significant way. Type and save these in a document and be sure to include the page number(s). In addition, write an explanation of how each quote is significant and helps you support your argument.

Select quotes from the articles: Select at least one quote from each critical article. Type the quotes and save them along with the author’s name and the number(s) of the page(s) on which they occur in the article. In addition, write a short explanation of how the quotes you have chosen help you to support your thesis.


According to the directions, this work should be typed--be sure to save it on your computer.
