<\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n

The main objective of this first assignment is to make a claim about the depiction of gender and\/or sexuality, referencing textual evidence from the source (Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God) text to support your <\/b><\/span>ideas.<\/b> Providing textual material for your claims, as well as thorough analysis of that evidence, <\/span>are central aspects of this assignment. <\/span><\/span>One helpful way to begin thinking about an essay is to <\/span>ask the work a pointed interpretative question. <\/span><\/span>The argument of your paper then is the answer <\/span>to your question, again, citing material from the literature to support <\/span><\/p>\n

your ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
1st step: <\/u><\/b><\/span>Your essay should provide an introductory paragraph that frames the issue(s) you are <\/span><\/div>\n
addressing and provides a clear interpretative claim. Remember, you want your introduction to <\/span><\/div>\n
orient readers to the key issues that your essay will address as well as orient them to the way they should think about it<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
2nd step:<\/u><\/b> <\/span>The body of the text should consist of well-developed paragraphs that furnish the <\/span><\/div>\n
support for that claim,<\/span> <\/span>citing specific passages from the source as evidence<\/strong>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Things to think? or question about while writing this essay: <\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Do I answer my interpretative question clearly? Do I have enough concrete examples to help<\/span><\/div>\n
 illustrate my points? Do I have too many? Do I spend enough time analyzing each of my examples? What evidence might contradict my claims or interpretation? Do I need to refute those? What is the best way to present my ideas? What evidence needs to come first? Do I need to define <\/span><\/div>\n
any terms or provide any context? What is the logic of my analysis and structure of my paper?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Evaluation: <\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Content:<\/strong> <\/span>Does the essay fulfill the expectations of a humanities analysis? Does the material <\/span><\/div>\n
\n

adequately address the prompt? Is the material developed and supported with textual evidence?<\/p>\n

Organization:<\/strong> <\/span>Does the introduction establish the framework for the essay? Is the essay organized? Is the essay logical and coherent? Are your ideas composed in coherent\/cohesive paragraphs that relate to the surrounding paragraphs and give details for your overall claim?  Are there transitions that provide connections between ideas?<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence:<\/strong> <\/span>Is there enough evidence to support the claim? Is each piece of evidence clearly and carefully presented? Do readers have all the contextual information they need to understand a<\/p>\n

 quotation? Is each piece of evidence made relevant? Is each piece of evidence fully explained?<\/p>\n

Presentation:<\/strong> <\/span>Does the essay exhibit a minimum of grammatical or structural errors?  Does it meet the basic formatting guidelines for the project?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
