Pick a key term or concept from that reading, that feels central to the author’s argument/claim/intervention
Title the glossary definition after this key term or concept
Select a quotation from the reading that addresses and/or attempts to define your chosen term or concept (NB: the quotation does not count in your word count)
Place the quote at the top of your page
In 350-400 words, closely read and analyze that quote to:
Explain why and how your chosen concept is central to the author’s argument/intervention/claims, as demonstrated in the quote
Define the concept in your own words
Argue for how/why this concept is important for understanding melodrama and/or address any limitations of the author’s use of the concept
NB: Using additional quotes and citations from the chosen reading is permitted and might help support arguments in support of or critiquing your chosen concept. However, focusing on your own words, thoughts, and ideas is the goal of this assignment. Additional quotes should be used to bolster your ideas, rather than stand in for them.
