On Wed,
October 22, we are going to hold our very own question about
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which you will present to the class for
discussion. You want to look at all the questions you’ve asked and use one that
you feel you could reasonably answer using logic and evidence from the text. If
you do not have the paper, you cannot participate and will have to take a test
instead. You still have to do the paper late, with a slacker pass, but the written
test is a lot harder than the Socratic Seminar.
Format—
·
Write you question as the title
·
Concise Introduction!!! 2-3 sentences
·
No “I” voice—example “I think” “we see”
·
Avoid summary—focus on analysis
·
Use transitions between examples and/or
paragraphs
·
Single space—times new roman—12 font, times new
roman-1 full page (you can go onto a 2nd page if needed)
·
Include a concise conclusion
Your intro will be brief—2 to 3 sentences with your
last sentence being your thesis statement (the answer to the question). The
rest of the paper will be paragraphs with claims (an aspect of your thesis)
followed by evidence and analysis of those examples. Tie backs are also an
important part of writing as they refer back to the claim/thesis. Finally, include a brief conclusion
paragraph.
1. Sub claim/ thesis specific topic sentence. It is
still a claim, but it relates to your thesis statement and is more specific to
an aspect of your thesis statement.
2. Example/Evidence from the text. Use textual
support.
3. Analysis--explain HOW your example proves your claim.
This can be 3-5 sentences long. This is your analysis, the meat of your paper.
This is your chance to show HOW your example is relevant to your thesis
statement.
4. Tie back to the claim or thesis
