Write a 2-page outline that includes the following information: annotated bibliography entry for the secondary source; plot outline and theme for myth, legend, folklore, or fairytaleChecklist for 2-page outline:2 full pages (a little less is okay, so is a little more)
Organize your paper with your annotated bibliography first, and your plot outline second
For the annotated bibliography, please refer to the pages under the Module for final paper resources, here. You should have one outside source cited. This means a source not referenced in class or read in class.
For your plot outline, write a brief synopsis of your story. Introduce your characters or background. Summarize your scenes. Remember this is only two pages, so keep it simple and brief. This is really just to help you start the basis of your final paper.
Since this is an outline, we will keep the format informal, but please use MLA if you feel you need a structure.
