Step 1—Using one of the given prompts, write a précis for a minimum of five scholarly secondary sources found through the DBU library and your primary source, utilizing the four sentence précis format required. Your secondary sources may not include the following: plot summaries, abstracts, (and other sorts of general reviews as found on the web), dictionaries, encyclopedias, Wikipedia, Spark Notes, and similar sources. While helpful in beginning research, these resources do not constitute a credible, required source. Late work will be penalized.
Step 2—Using your chosen prompt, create an original thesis and sentence outline concerning your prompt. Obviously, matters of originality, clarity, organized and developed support for a thesis, and standard American English usage will be considered. You will support your thesis by quoting, paraphrasing, and analyzing the primary text as evidence to support your insightful opinions. Be careful not to overuse direct quotes.
Your submissions will be submitted to Turnitin.com, and ANY AI GENERATED MATERIAL COULD BE CAUSE FOR FAILURE.
