For your final essay, you should choose one of the following options. Warning: Do not use open web sources such as Course Hero, Shmoop, Sparknotes, Gradesaver, or Wikipedia. Doing so will result in a major deduction of points under the category of thesis and support. Compare and contrast In Cold Blood to another filmed depiction of the true crime genre, whether in feature film or TV series form. Have a debatable, persuasive claim and focus on specific points of comparison, using the Lesson in week 7 to guide your structure.
Please consult MLA guidance to see how to cite television and film! For either paper, you must use primary sources (the assigned works of fiction or poetry) to support your ideas. You need to be making an original argument, and backing that argument with direct quotations from the primary texts, properly cited. Submission Instructions: Your essays should be in MLA Style and approximately 1000--1250 words, not including the Work(s) Cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. Please avoid both first person (I, we, our, etc.) and second person (you, your). In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the assignment on consecutive lines.
Double space your information from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key) from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to cite short stories, plays, or poems. You should use the online APUS library to look for scholarly sources. Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize.
