Sonnet-Analysis Research Essay Research-Based Literary Analysis

Prompt: Compose a 5-6 paragraph synthesis essay analyzing the poet’s use of style and diction to develop the tone of the sonnet. Your essay should assert an analytically based thesis and back up the argument with concrete detail and sufficient commentary. It should not be a line-by-line commentary on the poem. Essays will be submitted in print form as part of your poetry project AND through

TurnItIn.com as a separate assignment.

Student-Generated TP-FASTT

First, you will analyze the poem on your own. Use the TP-FASTT strategy to annotate your initial understanding of the poem. (Note: This step is the same as what you are doing with each of the poems

in your booklet.)

Research: Context & Literary Criticism 1. Contextual Factors: Take notes on any contextual factors (historical, biographical, cultural, etc.)

that are relevant to the sonnet on the Notes Sheet(s) provided. If you would prefer to take notes digitally and print the completed Notes Sheets, you can download the Notes Sheet document from the ―Course Documents‖ of Ms. Gottlieb’s webpage.

2. Poem Analysis: Find at least TWO pieces of literary criticism relevant to your sonnet. Take notes

on these articles using the Notes Sheets and annotate your sonnet with the new information (using the color-coding system discussed in class).

o You may not use websites that are not online databases for this assignment. o One source must be an online database. The public library also has online databases and

some are ones that LCPS does not subscribe to. You simply need a library card. (See pamphlet for passwords to access LCPS ones outside of school.)

Literary Analysis Essay: Pre-Writing & Drafting

1. Pre-Writing Framework: After completing the Notes Sheets, plan your research essay by completing the brief framework provided.

o Notes Sheet #1: background knowledge – historical, cultural, literary, biographical, etc. o Notes Sheet #2: from literary criticism – use to help plan essay

2. Research Essay (120 points): Please do not go home and compose the entire paper in one sitting. If you bring in pieces of your essay a paragraph at a time, Ms. Gottlieb and/or a peer reviewer can look over your work and catch mistakes early so you do not make them again.

o Introduction (1 paragraph)

Draw the audience in with a hook.

Introduce title (correct MLA format), author & appropriate background information.

Give a brief plot summary.

State your thesis succinctly at the end of the first paragraph o Body Paragraphs (3-4 paragraphs)

Include a MINIMUM of two internal citations per paragraph (should be T.I.E.d) and paraphrase concrete detail. Use direct quotes sparingly.

Structure your essay like the outline provided.

Incorporate transitions throughout the essay and at beginning of paragraphs. o Conclusion (1 paragraph)

Begin with a restatement of your thesis in new words.

Briefly revisit the main points of the paper.

Finish with a final thought that wraps up information discussed throughout essay. o Works Cited (must be a separate page)

Must be a separate page. Keep in mind ALL MLA formatting rules, especially titles!

Include an alphabetical list of all of the sources you used while writing the paper,

including those that you quoted, paraphrased, or summarized in the essay.

Name: _______________________________

Poetry Assessment Appendix E: Research Essay Self Review

1. Incorrect Tense/Tense Shift – (Use Present Tense for Literary Analysis) Characters, stories, and poems never die. You must write about them as if they are happening RIGHT NOW!

a. Read your entire essay looking for PRESENT TENSE verbs. b. CIRCLE any verbs that need to be changed or need to be checked.

2. Incorrect Reference to the Author – (for first reference, use author’s first and last names; for all subsequent references, use last names only.)

a. Read your entire essay looking for the author’s name. b. BOX any names that need to be changed, or need to be checked.

3. Incorrect point of view- (Do not use first person singular—I, me – or second person—you.) a. Read your entire essay looking for the third person point of view. b. Draw a wavy line under any non-third person words (I, we, me, us, my, mine, our, ours, you, your, yours),

unless it is within some quoted material.

4. Awkward blending of quoted material/No blending of quoted material—(Textual support must be blended with your own words.)

a. Read the essay looking for quoted material. b. Highlight any quoted material that is not blended with the writer’s own words in a sentence.

5. Avoid Fused Sentences—(to avoid a run-on, use a semi-colon, a comma and conjunction, or an adverbial conjunctive. Remember that quoted material cannot stand alone.)

a. Read the essay looking for independent and dependent clauses in each sentence. b. Check that each sentence is correctly punctuated.

6. Lack of persuasive explanation—(quotes should be used to further your point. The reader should never wonder

why a quote was used; the reason for its inclusion should be made apparent.) a. Read the essay looking for quoted material. b. Check that each sentence using quoted material is explained. Frequently this requires an additional

sentence or two after or before the introduction of quoted material. c. Star (in the margin) any quoted material that needs additional explanation.

7. Incorrect parenthetical citation form—(Correct parenthetical citation form is author’s last name and line number

alone if attribution has been given.) a. Read the essay looking for quoted material. b. Check each quote for proper parenthetical citation (author’s last name and line number). c. Write any missing parenthetical citation needed next to any quoted material. d. For all sources (literary criticism and the poem) used, you must use parenthetical citations AND provide a

Works Cited. 8. Check Works Cited entries—any works cited entries should have a hanging indent if it is longer than one line.

a. Read each entry, looking for errors in punctuation, formatting (poems go in quotes), and content. b. Label the entry for the poem itself. c. Label any entries that are literary criticism. d. Check to make sure all works cited entries have parenthetical citations within your paper.

9. Remove empty words from your essay. Replace with more descriptive words, or remove if the word is

unnecessary. DO NOT just use thesaurus to replace with another empty word. Rewrite the sentence to make it better.

Here are a few examples to look for (these words can be used effectively, but they need to be reviewed carefully):

A lot Best Extremely Hopefully Mainly Numerous Seem Thing

Absolutely Better Fun I think/believe Many Obviously So Totally

Amazing Completely Good In conclusion Might Pretty The fact that Unique

Bad Definitely Here are In order to My opinion Quite There are Very

Basically Doubtfully Here is Interesting Nice Really There is Well

Poetry Assessment Appendix F: Research Essay Reflection

4. What support do you believe is the strongest? Why?

5. Do you ever acknowledge another viewpoint?

6. What did you do most successfully in this assignment? Why?
