  2. To Begin With, Here Are the Basics Of The Research Paper Assignment • Final paper will be 3-5 (+?) pages • Paper will be word-processed and formatted according to all instructions • Paper will 1. Contain a thesis of your own 2. Contain arguments of your own 3. Will frequently refer to your main work 4. And will be supported by evidence from your secondary sources: there MUST be a minimum of three (3) outside sources in the paper

  3. The Steps: An Overview • Select main work (primary source) • Do a preliminary bibliographical survey to see what secondary sources are available based on a starting, formula thesis • Take notes on both main work and the secondary sources using the formula thesis as a guide • Revise the thesis as often as necessary • Create an outline • Write the rough draft • Write and turn in the final paper

  4. Materials Needed • 3 x 5 index cards • 4x 6 index cards • Toner, disks, paper, etc. • A fanatic’s organization skills • A saint’s patience • A writer’s desire for challenge

  5. Some Useful Terminology • Primary source=the MAIN WORK (novel, play, poetry) you have chosen to write about • Secondary sources=comments by literary critics, book reviewers, others, ABOUT your main work or about issues related to it • Anthology=A book that has an editor who has selected many secondary sources for you and packaged them in one book for you. That is, the book contains 10-15 critical essays. • Critical essay= An article, book review, in which a professor, reporter, etc., gives his/her theories about the main work or the author

  6. What’s A Bibliography Card? • Just a 3 x 5 index card • But it contains all of the information necessary to find a single book, magazine, online page, etc., when you take notes • And the information needed to write an entry in the final Works Cited List of your paper • In other words, these cards are “keepers”--you will add to them and use them through the whole process

  7. Why Do Bib Cards Now? • To know NOW if there’s enough information available about a work you are considering making your project • To become familiar with what’s out there--all scholars do a literature search first • To evaluate if there will be too much competition for materials • To search NOW so that you can concentrate on the notetaking later

  8. What’s An “Illegal” source? • Any source your instructor bans! • Cliff Notes or its kin • Masterplots • Another research paper, online or otherwise • Encyclopedia articles • Gale Literature Resource Center Overviews
