Huck Finn Literary Analysis Paper
The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn- Research/Literary Analysis Paper DUE: February 29
Late papers will receive half the credit they would have
otherwise received, and probably half the comments from me.
Please familiarize yourself with this rubric, as your grade
will be derived from it.
Name____________________________________________ Period_____
Date turned in______
|
1. Title page with name, date,
teacher’s name, title, class, and period
|
5
|
|
|
2. Typed, double spaced, 14
font, no spaces between paragraphs, Times New Roman font. I can’t accept a paper that is not
typed. (Three pages minimum,
and of course, you will be docked far more than ten points if you come up
short.)
|
10
|
|
|
3. Introduction has an
attention-getting device that is appropriate for this type of scholarly
paper.
|
15
|
|
|
4. Thesis statement is well-crafted,
thoughtful, and gives the reader a road map of your paper. No laundry list thesis statements. Think “over-arching.”
|
20
|
|
|
5. Paper is well-organized. Topic sentences are clear, mini-thesis
statements for each paragraph. All
sentence belong in their paragraphs.
Transitions are evident.
|
20
|
|
|
6. Sentence structure is sound
and varied.
|
10
|
|
|
7. Paper contains few or no mechanical errors,
such as punctuation, spelling, grammar, and usage.
|
10
|
|
|
8. Strong conclusion ties all the information
into a nice package. Your thesis is
proven. (No new information in
conclusion.)
|
15
|
|
|
A minimum
of three sources
|
40
|
|
|
10. This paper has accurate parenthetical
documentation throughout. Refer to:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
|
40
|
|
|
11. Ideas are fresh and
interesting. Research is obvious. You have not merely written off the top of
your head, rather you have studied and pondered. You have come up with ideas that are sound
and logical. You are careful not to plagiarize, giving credit where credit is
due.
|
25
|
|
|
12. Meaningful quotations are
woven seamlessly into your own sentences.
Set up the quote. If you can
paraphrase, paraphrase. If, however,
the citation you found is oh-so-wonderful as is, by all means, cite it in all
its splendor.
