Your first draft will be due on Wednesday, April 27th.
The first page of your paper should have your name, my name,
class period, and the date (day, three letter abbreviation of the month, and
the year) in the upper left side of
the paper.
The title should be capitalized and in the middle of the
first page.
The first paragraph should contain the topic sentence, which
tells the reader what the research paper is about. The first paragraph should
also contain a very brief, one sentence statement about each area of the
subject the research paper will cover. The final sentence in your research
paper should provide a transition to the next paragraph.
(DO NOT WRITE “MY RESEARCH PAPER IS ABOUT…..” )
The second paragraph should discuss the origins of the god,
the hero, the legend, or the myth. The second paragraph should include either a
quotation (which must be cited) or your paraphrase of the quotation (which must
be cited) to demonstrate where you got this information. Every piece of information you write
about your subject should be cited.
(Please make sure you do use more than one source for your
citations. You should have at least five bibliographic sources, so please use
all five of your bibliographic sources.)
The next section of your research paper should be about the
family, friends, allies, or enemies of the god, the hero, or the major players
in the myth or legends. Again, make sure you cite your sources. There must be
at least three pieces of information per paragraph, and there must be citations
for each piece of information per paragraph.
The next section of your research paper should be about the
area of power of the god, or a story demonstrating some aspect of the hero, or
legend, or myth. Again, make sure you cite your sources. There must be at least
three pieces of information per paragraph, and there must be citations for each
piece of information per paragraph.
The next section of your research paper should be about a
story or myth surrounding the god
or hero or legend. If you are
writing about Hercules, you might want to include the Twelve Labours of
Hercules. If you are writing about Artemis, you may want to include the myth
about her birth. There must be at least three pieces of information per
paragraph, and citations for each piece of information per paragraph.
The next section of your research paper should be on another
story or myth surrounding the god or hero or legend, which shows her/his power
or area of influence or explains why she holds power in that area. For example,
Diana was the goddess of midwives because in some legends she was born before
Apollo, her twin brother, and assisted her mother Leto in his birth.
The next section of your research paper should be about the
importance or significance of your god, hero, legend, or myth. For example, if
you are writing about Narcissus, you might want to explore the fact that his
name has been given to a personality disorder, the “narcissistic personality
disorder”, which describes someone who is self obsessed with power, prestige,
and beauty. This perfectly
describes the beautiful youth Narcissus, who was punished for his selfish
obsessions by the gods.
The final concluding paragraph should include one brief
sentence about each area you discussed in your research paper. There should be
no new or additional information introduced in the paper. The final sentence
should be a brief overview of the importance of the god, hero, legend, or myth
to the ancient Greeks and to people of today.

How
to cite:
In-text
citations: Author-page style
MLA
format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the
author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or
paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should
appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the
sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but
the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of
your sentence.

powerful feelings" (263).
