You read each other's analysis paper and I gave most of you feedback in class.
Common Mistakes
- Using the past tense to talk about a piece of work. The text says "...." not said unless the text used to say something one day and then says something different today.
- The phrase "needless to say." Don't use it. If it's needless to say, why are you saying it.
- Italicize titles of longer pieces (books, movies, magazine, and newspapers, etc) Quotes around shorter pieces (the title of an article from a magazine or newspaper, a poem, a song, etc.)
Sources
A lot of you either failed to put your sources into this draft of the paper or forgot to cite them. Please be sure that you understand how in-text citations work and if you don't you might want to submit another draft of your paper to me before the final so I can check your citations.
Homework
- Read Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, Little Snow White, and Hansel and Gretel from the Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales. (Make sure you actually read them and don't just rely on your previous knowledge of the stories.)
