The Portfolio Project is designed to require you to expand your understanding of Things Fall Apart by combining knowledge and application of content with your own interpretation and judgment. For the Portfolio Project, you will write a comparison-contrast paper looking at the two different critical perspectives to analyze and evaluate which one best explains the novel. You should supplement your own theoretical reading perspective with information from three to five other sources. Your interpretation of this novel should reflect an international perspective. Information about planning your essay and conducting your research can be found in the lecture material for Module 5. The portfolio project is due in Week 8.
Essay Formatting Requirements:
5-7 pages.
Minimum of three sources (excluding the novel) – must be credible, authored sources; anonymous Websites or sites like Wikipedia are not acceptable as one of your three main sources.
