Length: Your research paper should be 4-5 pages (6 pages maximum). This does NOT include the APA formatted title page and the APA reference page. Your paper will be in this order:
Please remember to include an APA formatted title page as the first page of your paper and an APA reference page as the last part of your paper. The body of your paper will be a minimum of 4 full pages and a maximum of 6 pages! DO NOT INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT.
Research Sources: Your research paper should discuss and cite a minimum of 5 but not more than 8 credible, scholarly sources (literary criticism) obtained through academic databases of the university. I suggest that you start with ESBSCO and ProQuest.
Manuscript format and length: Your paper will need to follow APA format guidelines. You will need a title page and a reference page (no abstract is required). Be sure to follow APA manuscript guidelines regarding font style and size, spacing, margins, etc.
Documentation and avoiding plagiarism: Your paper should follow APA documentation guidelines in order to avoid unintentional plagiarism. Remember that whenever you use a scholar’s words or ideas, they must be documented in your paper; otherwise, you are plagiarizing. Please document references to the play(s)/textbook as well as all information from each of your research sources.
This is how it will be graded.

ENSURE YOU DO THE FOLLOW AS YOU WRITE TE PAPER
It looks like you’ve laid out a strong presentation on the failure of leadership with good support from your secondary sources. One thing I didn’t see too much of is reliance on your primary sources i.e., the plays themselves, so I encourage you to focus on that as you put the finishing touches on your final draft. Also, I didn’t see your Smarthinking confirmation in the dropbox. You still have time to submit it to recover those 15 points! 🙂 In addition to the rubric (below), please take a look at the following (general) suggestions: a) In your introduction, make sure you’re providing the necessary background info on the play and that you’re presenting a strong thesis that states a claim and gives your reader an idea of the overall purpose of your essay. b) When including references from the play itself, be sure you’re making it clear HOW/WHY these passages support/advance your ideas. Make the relationship clearer for your reader. c) Be sure that when you’re incorporating secondary sources that you really expand on the author’s idea and relate it back to your main point; also, don’t forget to cite EVERY idea that is not your own. 4) USE quotations from the play as much as you can to support/demonstrate your literary analysis.
