University of Houston Feminism in Frankenstein Essay
Prior to drafting your essay on Frankenstein next week, you need to begin conducting research on your own. Here’s what you need to do in this assignment to get that process going:
–First, you should name the topic you are going to focus on, and provide a working thesis, or explanation of the purpose of your essay. This should take up between 5-7 sentences. (This is essentially a recap of your last short assignment submitted a few days ago, including any changes to your vision that may have occurred since its submission.)
–Second, you need to list at least 5 possible secondary sources for your project. Make sure that each source comes from the HCC library system (either a book or a scholarly essay/article) or from another academic institution (TSU, U of H, etc…). List each source by title and author and then provide a brief, 4-7 sentence explanation of how you might use this in your essay. What is it about this source that seems appealing to you? How might it help you develop or support your working thesis?
Write the whole thing on a Microsoft Word doc and submit it here. There is no word count requirement this time, although I will hold you to the sentence requirements listed within the assignment. You need to give a 5-7 sentence account of your project, and for each of the five sources you list, you need to give a 4-7 sentence explanation.
Finally, just a note before you begin: The purpose of this assignment is simply to get you focused on a topic and conducting some research. Make sure you’ve read the library research tutorial before you begin this assignment, or you’ll likely find yourself lost. Finally, you can’t use any kind of library source that you want, but you can use books, ebooks or scholarly essays. If you are searching the databases for scholarly essays, the best databases to use are Academic Search Complete, Academic One File, Jstor and Project Muse.
