Research Papers

Hello all!

I have been receiving your e-mails about research paper topics. Please make sure to read the research papaer packet to make sure that you are hitting all the requirements. Due to the large amount of eras, genres, etc we hit in this class, you are the only senior class that is allowed to go outside of British Litertaure as a topic. Be creative...find something interesting to you. However, make sure that you are using at least two (2) novels as your primary sources. I know this is not exactly what is meant by a primary source, but the department as a whole has decided to look at it this way.

When in doubt about your topic selections, think: what am I trying to prove/ research here? Do not choose a theme as this is not a theme paper. In order to research something, you need to be able to look it up in a reference book or on the internet. For eample, a paper on greed in Macbeth would not work as you need to be much more specific and stop thinking about this a s theme paper. However, the realities of the real Macbeth versus Shakespeare's fictional character is something you could research.

Make sure to e-mail me with any questions or issues. I may not be there to help you, but I am online!!

Enjoy picture #2 of the baby!!
