“Exploring Critical Thinking through Literary Analysis: A Term Paper Process” “Exploring the Complexities of Cultural Identity in Stories for a Lost Child: An Analysis of Carter Meland’s Novel”
Term Paper Process: For this assignment—which is really an interwoven set of assignments—you will immerse yourself in a critical writing process that will lead to a four-to-six page term paper (double-spaced, standard font) springing from course readings and discussions as well as your own intellectual interests. This framework is intended to be broad and flexible, enabling you to approach this task through any specific avenue you might develop. You are encouraged to push your analysis as far as it will go in whatever direction you feel makes for the most intriguing project. We write in order to think critically about issues that literary study confronts us with and in order to further cultivate critical thinking about these issues in our own readers. With these goals in mind, you are writing these papers for an audience that includes yourself, your classmates, and other scholars interested in the issues at hand.
Near the middle of the term, you will submit a 200-300 word topic proposal accompanied by an annotated bibliography. This is your opportunity to formally begin your term paper writing process and to receive feedback on your approach. Your topic proposal should articulate the central theme that you anticipate exploring in your paper and it should identify which one of our major course texts your paper will place at the center of its exploration. (So you will write a paper about Tracks, or you will write a paper about one or more of Heid Erdrich’s video poems, or you will write a paper about Stories for a Lost Child, or you will write a paper about The Lesser Blessed.) Your accompanying annotated bibliography will consist of four entries. Each entry will include a full citation (in MLA style, whichever edition you prefer) of a peer-reviewed secondary source relevant to your project and a 100 word explanation of what the source is and why it is relevant to your project. (Secondary sources are texts you will use to set up your analytical framework and to support your analysis of your primary source. Your primary source is the major course text you have selected to write your paper about.) None of the sources used in your annotated bibliography should be a course reading. Proposals and annotated bibliographies submitted on time and in full accordance with the expectations stated here will earn 16 points.
Three page (double-spaced, standard font) workshop drafts will be peer reviewed. Drafts submitted at length and on time will earn 20 points. The peer review offers an opportunity for you to critically engage with the work of your classmates and to join them in a productive exchange of advice and insights that will be useful as you all continue working on your papers. You will be required to post workshop feedback for each draft in your course team. Detailed instructions for doing so will be provided on our course website. Workshop feedback submitted on time and in full accordance with the expectations stated here and on our course website will earn 30 points.
Four-to-six page (double-spaced, standard font) polished papers are due near the conclusion of the term. These will be assessed on how well they meet the following three interlocking criteria:
Content: The paper should reflect a clear understanding of the assignment and of the primary text being considered. The thesis should be clearly articulated and well supported, illustrated, and developed with direct citations and summaries of relevant material from the primary text.
Clarity: The paper should clearly express, illustrate, and develop its ideas and insights. Terms should be effectively established and deployed, and the paper’s ideas should be expressed clearly and comprehensibly. The paper’s prose should be “clean” (no typos or misspellings) and clear (grammatically sound, in the active voice as appropriate). The paper’s thesis should be clearly advanced, developed, and sustained. Connections between the various parts of the paper should be made explicit. The paper’s focus should be clearly articulated and maintained. Primary and secondary source citations should be clear and complete both within the paper and on a list of works cited.
Insight: The paper should advance a complex and specific thesis that is well articulated. The paper should go beyond conventional wisdom to explore and articulate the significance of the ideas being considered. The paper should address potential objections to its thesis and associated ideas. The paper should “think through” (develop and explore) the full range of implications of the ideas or insights brought up.
Polished term papers that fully satisfy these criteria will earn 40 points.
I ONLY NEED YOU TO WRITE THE DRAFT PAPER I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE PROPOSAL AND ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY! The paper is on the book called Stories for a lost child by Carter Meland -

“Exploring the Elements: A Critical Review of Hamlet at Boston Court Theatre” “Peter and the Starcatcher: A Review of Stagecraft and Performance” “The Roaring Lion: A Theatrical Spectacle” The stage is set, the lights dim, and the audience eagerly awaits the start of the show. As the curtains rise, a majestic lion appears on stage, its silhouette illuminated by a
Your name here
Play Review
Instructor name here
Today’s date here
Essay title here, for example: Play Review of Hamlet at Boston Court Theatre
Indent each new paragraph apart from your very first one. Your essay should be typed, double-spaced and use 12-point Times New
Roman font just like the example you’re reading right now. Number your pages just I have. The play review should be five sides long.
Use spell check and good grammar throughout. Your essay needs to be printed and handed in by the due date. No electronic
submissions will be accepted.
In the first paragraph briefly outline what you saw, when, and who directed it.
Briefly outline the plot in a couple of sentences. For example, if I wanted to summarize Romeo and Juliet I could say: ‘Set in the
Italian city of Verona it tells of a long-running hatred between two families, which results in the tragic death of the two young lovers,
Romeo and Juliet.’
The strange thing is that although it’s called a ‘play review’ you should be reviewing a production of a play not the play itself,
so don’t fall into the trap of explaining what happens in the story by exploring the plot, themes, or language of the drama. Those
things are fixed and never change. Write instead about what the production did with the play. Talk about the acting, lighting,
costume, set, music and any other element of the production and explain if they did a good or bad job. Feel free to share your
opinion and make bold statements about what you’ve seen. For example, I could that ‘I thought the Romeo actor was terrible,’ BUT
because a critical essay is about demonstrating your ability to build a strong argument, YOU NEED TO SUPPORT YOUR
STATEMENT with a clear and well-argued explanation. For example, explain how and why the Romeo actor was so terrible and if you
have any suggestions about how to fix this problem. For example, ‘I thought the Romeo actor was terrible because the character of
Romeo is supposed to be torn apart by love. We didn’t see that in actor’s physicality because the Romeo actor in this production was
too relaxed to make his performance believable. An example was in the scene where Romeo is banished and must leave the city
forever. The character talks about wanting to commit suicide and he’s furious he’ll never see Juliet again, but the Romeo actor
delivered the lines in a such a relaxed way that Romeo didn’t appear to care about his predicament. Also, the actor didn’t speak
clearly or loudly enough and I missed much of what he was saying. A simple solution to this would have been to mic the actors or for
the director to simply tell the actors to speak louder.’
Talking about specific moments like that will improve your essay and demonstrate that you engaged critically with the
production. But don’t just make one point and spend the entire essay talking about it. Aim for ten clear points about the acting and
other production elements. Consider how design and lighting helped or hindered the production. Did the costumes and set work well
or not? How did all the separate parts of the production fit together? Did some parts work better than others?
When writing your essay tell us what you thought AND always back it up with a strong argument then move on to the next
point. Do this again and again throughout your essay and you’ll maximize your grade. You might want to focus on the two or three
most successful aspects of the production and then counter this with what you thought were the worst parts.
What is the main theme or idea of the play and did the production put that across well? You should also write about how the
play is relevant to audiences today. Is the play relevant to your life? Explain why or why not.
Include some of the key terms from our book such as suspension of disbelief, fourth wall, climactic, episodic, Realism etc. That
will also improve your grade.
Finish your essay by summing up your overall response to the production and remember, your essay needs to be 5 sides long.
If your page count is slightly short or long (less than half a page) your grade won’t be affected but 5 sides is your target so that is
what you should aim to hand in. If your essay is more than half a page short or long, points will be deducted.
If, due to Covid-19, we cannot go and see a live theatre production, I will provide links to two theatre productions by Week 5.
Choose ONE and write your essay on that production.

Here are notes from the play: Peter and the Starcatcher which Im writing about in this play review:
What stood out for me:
The gag of Captain Tash smashing the mirror.
Stage lighting and how it helped tell the story effectively.
The use of parasols to create the ocean.
The set
based in 1885
the stage was a Proscenium stage
And here are some questions I had about the show?
The performance was full of energy and everyone was loud but I still couldn’t understand about 50% of what was being said. Why? And what could have been done to improve that?
Were moments when the 4th wall was broken effective? If so, why? If not, why? How could it be fixed if needed?
Did you like the way the actors helped change the scene by shifting bits of the set around or the use of parasols to create the effect of the sea? Was it effective?
How did lighting, set, costume help tell the story?
What specific moments stood out for you? Why?
What about costume?
What about the direction? It’s not easy to organize such a large cast.
How was the staging effective/ineffective in the telling of the story? Think about the tableaux that were made and the movement of actors across the stage.
Inevitably, some actors were stronger than others. Who were they and why were their performances stronger? What could have been done to help those actors who were struggling in their roles?
My notes (I was scribbling away during the performance). You may not agree/understand with any/all but this is what stood out for me as I watched the show:
Very first line lost (couldn’t hear the last word, didn’t get the meaning)
Diction bad, can’t understand what they are saying
giant sheets above stage like billowing sails
how they showed the orphans behind bars
staging — use of boxes to create different levels
lighting – sunshine, danger, blue skies
miming pulling the ropes
recorded piano odd, not live, singing weak/out of tune etc
toy ships
SFX of creaking ship and ocean sounds
can’t see/hear when actors facing upstage, dialogue lost
SFX fart sounds, why not actor make sound?
scenes behind doors in various parts of ship
flashback to orphanage done with white screens and silhouettes
actors as narrators/break 4th wall/talk to audience
one of the orphans is really good
God save the Queen! Gag. Everyone stands and shouts God Save Her!
sick bucket, comic timing
Tash – crack mirror gag
Smee and the severed hand
parasol waves, ship’s wheel, lighting used to show switch from one ship to other
red light, chase scene
costume/one actor wear brand new Doc Martens / my suspension of disbelief shattered
the croc sounds more like a lion / use of silhouette
use of spotlights
use of gobo lighting at intermission to project stars on stage floor
gender and casting
suddenly live music Smee and ukulele…why? Seems at odds with the recorded music
