Your
research paper will be due on Monday, April 10th at midnight on
turnitin.com.
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. Example: 10 Apr
2017
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.
How
to cite:
According
to Edith Hamilton in her book, Greek
Mythology, Psyche was a Greek mortal whom people found more attractive than
Aphrodite.
Psyche
was a Greek mortal whom people found more attractive than Aphrodite. (Hamilton
126)
(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.

In-text

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.
