PORTFOLIO
This is a final project and you must demonstrate that you can incorporate research to your essay.
In this portfolio, choose two of the other 4 essays you have written, expand them and include outside sources to further convince an argument. They will become two essays with research and a work cited page.
Ideas for outside sources are:
MLA website: Find articles on the story
JSTOR website: Find articles there.
Both are posted on the school library website.
Or any other outside source such as psychological or other data and statistics.
This paper should add about 2 more pages to the original paper and the outside sources should be incorporated into the paper-not separate. This does not include the work cited page. Total pages for portfolio should be minimum 6 pages., double spaced, 12 font, Times New Roman, MLA style.
This Portfolio is worth 15% of your final grade. It is due 12/10 before midnight.
Adding Research to your Text Analysis
Now that you have supported your thesis using the text as evidence you may go outside for secondary sources.
Following the MLA style, you must include the author and name of text that you will use. It might be a book, a journal, a magazine article, or a website source. The outside sources you choose to incorporate into your text analysis must be related to your thesis and must help you prove your argument even further.
Remember, outside sources are not there to prove your thesis, they are there to help you do it, therefore introduction and incorporation of secondary sources must be handled with skill and logistics of your argument.
After you have introduced your outside sources at the appropriate places within the existing paper, you must write a Work Cited Page.
The paper must be 5-7 pages long, double spaced.
