Research Paper on Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
In determining the grade for the paper, I will consider form (mechanics, grammar), content, documentation, and process. Each will affect the final grade for the paper.
- Research papers will have a body of seven to ten(7-10)pages. The paper must also have an outline, and Works Cited page. (These pages are NOT considered as part of the body page count.) You will find a sample research paper, including a sample Works, Cited page at the Purdue OWL website or if you have purchasedThe St. Martin's Handbook you can find a sample in Chapter 32. Information about formal outlines is in Chapter 3. The order of pages in the paper is an outline, the body of paper, works cited. These are all to be saved and sent to me as one document.
- The final Works Cited page will contain seven to eight (7-8) sources. The sources will be derived from appropriate books, periodicals, etc., to denote a variety of sources used. Cliffs Notes, Masterplots, Monarch Notes, essays from paper mills, Wikipedia, and all other similar sources are not appropriate. Each of the sources used in the Works Cited must be used at least once in the research paper.
- You are to follow MLA format and documentation as described at Purdue OWLsite and also inThe St. Martin's Handbook.
- Use direct quotations sparingly (no more than 15% of the paper).
- Be sure the topic is sufficiently limited.
- All words should be spelled correctly and errors in sentence structure eliminated.
- The level of diction should be formal (no slang, contractions, jargon, or technical terms without definition).
- The paper should be well written and scholarly.
- All borrowed information must
be noted whether quoted or paraphrased.
