Yоur essаy must be 1,000+ wоrds. Yоur essаy must closely engаge with the assigned text(s) through direct quotation and analysis by incorporating at least four direct quotations, each followed by close analysis of the text’s language and meaning. Your essay should present a compelling, coherent, and specific thesis that is consistently and thoroughly developed. Summarizing the readings or relying on personal reaction will result in a lowered score or a grade of zero. Responses should omit personal reflection in favor of analysis and provide ample support from our readings. Exams that fall short of the minimum word count and/or fail to incorporate textual support (cited quotations) from our readings will suffer a significant grade reduction. Your work will be graded on the quality of your ideas as well as your writing. Criteria for grading include completeness, thoughtfulness, and development and support of a particular argument. Per the plagiarism policy, you must cite ideas that are not your own. You must include MLA format in-text citations. The following deductions will apply: 1) Missing textual support (quotations) from the primary text= -20% of the grade 2) Short of the word requirement= loses points based on percentage short (ex: an essay of 500 words can receive up to 50% credit with 1,000 words required) Prompts (select ONE): 1) Using one or two of the short stories assigned in module 1, consider how the text(s) define home.
