Unit 4 For 7 Amp 8

Groundwork Assignment 7

1. For this assignment, you will develop an outline for MA 4.
2. As you reread Conventions of Fairy Tales, AND the versions of LRRH you’ve examined so far, consider themes, images, symbols, and other literary devices that you find interesting. Themes you might discuss include independence, obedience, love, innocence, evil, greed, supernatural elements, social expectations, sexuality, identity, deviance, etc. Select at least three specific themes, symbols, or other devices.
3. Write a separate sentence for each element, discussing how the element is used in the different works. For example, “Innocence is a key theme in multiple versions of LRRH”
4. Beneath each corresponding claim sentence, list at least three specific examples (as quotes) from the multiple versions. These examples should identify character actions, dialogue and lyrics, perceived symbols, etc. that you believe illustrate each literary element you want to explore. (See class example provided.)
5. Explore the SECONDARY sources that you gathered for Unit 3; i.e., the journal articles, videos, etc. Which sources seem most credible and offer information that you could use to supplement your ideas? Note some of the info you might use to supplement the ideas you have. You don’t have to have a piece of research of each theme at this point, but you do need to include at least one piece of research that will provide some ethos.
6. A Works Cited should be included.

Groundwork Assignment 8

1. Using the outlines you created in GA 7 and class discussions, begin drafting your MA 4 paper. Focus on first developing the body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should start with the claim sentence introducing an element from GA 7, and then you should discuss your analysis of that element, using the examples from GA 7 as well.
2. You will, of course, want to add to the summary, paraphrasing, or quoting you provide as you develop the paragraphs of your essay for MA 4. Keep in mind that your reader cannot read your mind, so you need to be very clear in your thinking and connections. If you give an example to illustrate the theme of innocence, for example, you then need to tell the reader exactly how that example illustrates the theme of innocence, even if it seems obvious.
3. For this assignment, you need to develop at least the three body paragraphs exploring the themes, though you may find you need more. As you write, don’t separate versions into different sections of your essay. You should, instead, offer “point by point comparison and contrast” between the two, exploring how the different versions showcase the element.
4. Briefly identify and discuss one counterargument that goes against one point of your argument. Normally, this might come at the end of a body paragraph, or you might present this in its own paragraph. Use evidence from one of the primary texts to refute the counterclaim.
5. Include research from at least two academic journals to supplement your ideas. This research should be integrated within the body paragraphs rather than as a single paragraph appearing late in the paper. That is, you should use some secondary support to help supplement each separate theme discussed throughout the paper.
6. Since this will ultimately serve as your rough draft for the assignment, you should also include your working thesis at the beginning of the essay. You can also try to develop the introduction and conclusion paragraphs as appropriate.
7. Use MLA in-text citations accordingly, and include an MLA Works Cited.
