Basic Writing
Conventions
As found in a typical 6-4 rubric. (A copy of a 3-2 Writing Rubric appears in your Student Handbook).
Formatting:
5-8 pages
12 pt Times or comparable body font (no script or decorative fonts)
1 inch margins,
Double-spaced,
Parenthetical referencing when using indirect or direct quotes [e.g. (Lewis 24) ]
Bio information top-left hand corner (e.g Name, Class, Date) on Page 1 only.

Specific qualities/characteristics of this paper:
(taken from web sources linked on original assignment page)
Introduction
Defined or identified the general topic, issue, or area of concern, thus providing an appropriate context for reviewing the literature
Strong thesis statement (connect with "lens" or "keyhole" of Story).
Body
"Organize the material by topic, by perspective, or in some other coherent way. Don't just dump the information in randomly in a 'this one says this, that one says that' fashion. By grouping and organizing your information, identifying different issues and positions and establishing connections and differences between your sources, you provide the reader with an overview of the issue or topic you are writing about. "
Conclusion
"Summarize major contributions of significant studies and articles to the body of knowledge under review, maintaining the focus established in the introduction."
"Conclude by providing some insight into the relationship between the central topic of the literature review and a larger area of study such as a discipline, a scientific endeavor, or a profession."
Late Papers
None for credit. Because we have fewer grades this trimester, a missed paper will not allow you to get a passing grade in the class.
