You are responsible for developing your essay topic, which will have been peer-reviewed during our essay workshop.
Your essay should:
– Make an argument about one or more of the texts from this course. An argument means that you put forward a reading or analysis of the novel that you support with textual evidence.
– Provide textual evidence by quoting and analyzing the text directly.
– Provide a title that indicates the text(s) you’re discussing and the core idea of your paper.
– Offer an introduction that establishes the context for your paper (who wrote the text(s) you’re discussing? What is the basic premise of that text?). It should also establish a thesis statement. A thesis statement sets out the primary claim of your paper, e.g. “I argue that this novel…” Your introduction should also tell your reader how your paper will proceed, e.g. “Firstly, I consider the role of… Secondly, I turn to the question of…” and so on.
– Have body paragraphs that follow the “roadmap” you’ve established.
– Have a conclusion that summarizes the key points of your argument and reminds the reader why your argument is significant.
– Incorporate two secondary, academic sources into your essay. These may be drawing on what others have written about the novel, or perhaps what scholars have said about a theme or idea you’re dealing with (African futurism, for example).
