NOTES FROM INSTRUCTOR FOR FINAL!!!

Here is a link to the grading rubric for the final summary paper. As  a reminder, please refer to my comments on your previous papers to take  advantage of my suggestions for improvement. Cite sources after nearly  every sentence.  If you clearly communicate your interesting analysis  and demonstrate your understanding of the three bulleted focus areas  above with a well-organized paper, you will be pleased with your score!

Use your Week 4 outline to  guide you as you draft. Every topic or separate aspect of your analysis  should have its own paragraph, with its own topic and conclusion  sentences. Use an introduction and conclusion paragraph to set the stage  with your thesis statement and to wrap up your paper.  Give your reader  (me) a clear roadmap; if I can understand and follow your argument, you  will earn more points! Finally, make sure your paper includes your thoughts, your voice, and your analysis—this  paper is worth 20% of your final grade, so it must be more than a  collection of quotes.  I look forward to your work!
