Some points or logical connections might seem self-evident to you, but not to your reader. That’s why you need to explain everything. Content: Narration is not analysis. Retelling some of the story’s events is important, but it does not make an analysis without your critical insight and the proper employment of the elements of fiction to endorse it.  2 Form Form: Pay attention to what form your answer should be in (focus on what the question wants): a paragraph, short notes, or an essay. The question clearly asked you to write an academic paragraph; yet, some of you submitted an essay or short notes. Form (paragraph): The academic paragraph should not be less than five or six well-elaborated sentences. You can definitely write more, but not less. A stand-alone academic paragraph must start with a topic sentence with a clear topic and a controlling idea. The topic is the general point you will focus on in your paragraph, and the controlling idea is your opinion or the aspect from which you will tackle the said point. “’The Nightingale and the Rose’ was written by Oscar Wilde in 1888.”  “Oscar Wilde’s view of art in ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’ is explored through the human characters.”  Form (short notes): As for the short notes, they are ideally written in numbered or bulleted points. Note that they are called short notes not short sentences, which means that each note should express a sub-idea, not necessarily in one sentence. The sub-idea expressed in one note has to be well-elaborated and supported with examples if possible. Form (short notes): Form (short notes):  3 Grammar and Punctuation Grammar and Punctuation: Titles of short stories are always placed between quotation marks: “The Nightingale and the Rose” – “A Wild Swan” – “The Flowers” – “The Story of an Hour” – “The Lady with the Dog” – “To Build a Fire” Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the title are capitalized; articles and prespositions are not. Names are also capitalized: Oscar Wilde, Alice Walker, Michael Cunningham, etc. The first time you mention an author’s name, write their first and last name (Oscar Wilde). After that, refer to the writer using their last name only (Wilde). Avoid fragments, run-on sentences, and comma splices. Grammar and Punctuation: Sometimes you use verb ‘to be’ unnecessarily: “I'm agree with the writer”  “I agree with the writer”  Pay attention to the subject-verb agreement: “Oscar Wilde think” – “The nightingale have”  Maintain tense consistency: “The nightingale sings her beautiful song. She sacrificed her life for the boy.”  “The nightingale sings her beautiful song. She sacrifices her life for the boy.”  Use the present tense in narration and in analysis. Learn the difference between “it’s” and “its”.  4 Miscellaneous Miscellaneous: Do not end your submission – be it short notes, a paragraph, or an essay – with phrases such as “Thank you for your time” or “Thank you for reading.” Remember, you are submitting an academic piece of writing not an email.  Do not use conversational language; your language has to be formal. “u” – “r” – “wanna” – “gonna” – “sucks” – “&”  “you” – “are” – “want to” – “going to” – “is disappointing/unfavorable” – “and”  Plagiarism! Avoid plagiarism like the plague. Draw a clear line between stealing and borrowing. You can always borrow ideas from other sources but you have to acknowledge them. Remember that originality is always valued and encouraged. Thank you! If you have any questions, I’ll gladly answer them next class.
