Missed quizzes cannot be made up under any circumstances. The paper is to be argumentative and should present your own close reading of a text or texts rather than a summary of research. I want to see evidence of your own thinking. I will distribute sample paper topics prior to the paper due date, or you may choose your own topic. All documentation must follow MLA style.
Final papers are due during the exam period.
Final papers are now due the last day of class. For each passage you will also compose a short essay which discusses the application of the passage to the themes in the novel from which it is extracted. We will discuss possible changes to this exam policy. Please see the Student Handbook pp. 96-98 for specific definitions of these terms.
