THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO
1. Use your theory to develop a working thesis statement for your paper.
2. Develop an outline for the paper. In order to prove your thesis, what claims will you make about how the chosen passage demonstrates the theory you’ve formulated about the work’s meaning? What evidence will you need? What order should it go in? How will you connect it all?
3. Draft the paper.
a. Don’t summarize or describe what happens–focus on HOW and WHY
b. For every main and supporting claim you make about a work, you must have evidence–you should be able to paraphrase/quote from/refer to specific passages in both the primary and secondary sources. DON’T quote long passages–only quote enough to support or demonstrate the point you’re making. DON’T quote something and then say “this shows that…”: 1) Make your point, 2) quote/paraphrase, then explain how (1) and (2) relate to one another and to your thesis.
4. Revise. Show the paper to your classmates, a writing center instructor, or me. Get feedback. Revise some more.
