Learning Goal: I’m working on a literature writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
“Please review MLA formatting and citation. We use that in the Humanities, not APA.
Please review when summary, paraphrase, and direct quotation. Discuss when to cite a scholar and when to discuss facts and common knowledge in your own words.
Make sure to please review close reading and how to structure a paragraph in a literary analysis paper. Follow what I call the MPA Formula: Make Claim, Present Evidence, and Analyze Evidence. Your “evidence” in the close reading paragraphs should come from the literary text. Make sure you analyze it adequately to show what it means.”
