Literary Critical Essay: Directions
Thesis Boutline due March 3rd
For this assignment, you will compose an essay that responds to the prompt that appears below. Your
essay should include the following:
.
a brief introduction (3-4 sentences) in which you catch the reader's attention and move to a thesis
that effectively states your paper's claim;
a body, in which you develop your thesis with specific support from the work, either by means of
quotation or paraphrase; and
a 2-3 sentence conclusion in which you restate your thesis and gracefully wrap things up.
The body of your essay should consist of distinct points that support your thesis, with each main point
beginning with an introductory sentence that clearly announces the point. Be careful to cite parentheti-
cally by line number all specific references to the play, whether quoted or paraphrased. (You should not
be citing anything from any external sources.) The length of your essay should be 500-650 words. This
word length applies only to the text of your paper-i.e.
, the introduction, body, and conclusion para-
graphs-and does not include the title page, the thesis and outline page, the title, or the bibliography
page. In addition to the essay, your paper should include a title page that presents the information noted
in the Manuscript Form handout. Your title should give the reader a clear indication of your paper's topic.
What are key words that someone might enter in a hypothetical Google search to find your essay? Does
your title include them?) Following the title page should be a page containing your thesis statement and
an outline of your essay's main points. (For a model, look at the corresponding page that appears
with the
sample research paper in CCE.) Finally, your paper should include a bibliography page that provides a
properly formatted entry for the story you have analyzed. (Again, if necessary, consult the sample paper
in CCE for a model of the bibliography page.)
Prior to submitting the essay, you will first submit a thesis statement and an outline indicating how you
intend to address the prompt (20 points). Your thesis should exhibit effective predication, with the
subject and verb of the sentence capturing the essence of your paper's claim. (If necessary, review the
discussion of thesis statements in CCE.) The outline should consist of at least two levels (i.e., Roman
numerals and capital letters), with each statement on the outline being a complete sentence. After your
initial thesis and outline are graded and returned, you will submit the first draft of your literary critical
essay (30 points). The outline page included with your essay will be a revision of your original thesis and
outline and will be graded separately (20 points). Finally, after the first draft is graded and returned, you
will revise it and resubmit it (60 points). The grade of the revised essay is independent of the grade you
received on the original draft (i.e., the better the revision, the better the grade).
Here is the prompt for this assignment:
For this assignment, you will be composing a brief essay (500-650 words) that will appear in
a publication that is read by Christian high school English teachers. In your essay you must
make a case for teaching Sophocles's Oedipus the King to 12th graders in a Christian high
school English class, supporting the claim that even though the play was written by a pagan
author, it nevertheless presents truths to which Christians can relate. Because your audience
is Christian teachers, you can assume they are familiar with the truths of the Bible: you do not
need to provechat the truths you cite are biblical. Instead, your focus should be on establish-
ing that the truths you cite are clearly emphasized in Oedipus the King.
