As noted on your assignment sheet, the first paper due is two-three pages long and based on the novel only. The topic you chose over the weekend is yours now, and only in rare occasions will you be allowed to change it. Commit to it, and the process should be relatively painless.
Before we actually researching your topic, you will write your first draft using your primary source -- the novel. Please follow these steps:
(1) Using your notes and study guide, locate information related to your topic.
(2) Organize what you find into sub-topics.
(3) Create an outline that includes citation of specific evidence.
(4) Write rough draft for FRIDAY
(5) Revise for MONDAY
After the first draft is turned in, we will begin to look for secondary sources.
