RESEARCH ESSAY
The topic I chose is “Romeo and Juliet” to “Westside Story”: How this theme has been treated in music.”
Your second writing assignment is an essay, to be written in formal style, on a topic chosen from a list provided by the instructor. This essay is to demonstrate your ability to research and consolidate material. You may consult on-line references. Use your on ideas to develop the essay. Copy/pasting from websites is easily detectable and will result in a failing grade. The paper is to be 6 pages in length (minimum of 1500 words) following the general guidelines given below.
