Procedure:

During this part of the project, you will write a 1,500 – 1,700 word essay, revise and edit it accordingly, and post your edited rough draft for final peer review.

 

As you continue to revise your paper, review your topic sentences, supporting points, and images for specific aspects to support your claims. As you revise your paper, be mindful of the following structural guidelines:

The introduction should identify and describe the works under examination by artist, title, date, and genre. It should offer several sentences introducing the reader to the ideas raised in the paper. Sometimes, it may take you two paragraphs to accomplish a full introduction. Remember, the introduction should also present your thesis statement, positioned as the last sentence of the introduction.

The paragraph immediately following the introduction should discuss the first point in your thesis.

Each of the body paragraphs should refer to your thesis.

Source materials should be integrated in all paragraphs in a manner that supports your claims but does not dominate your claims. For this reason, the source materials should not be included in topic sentences. A strong paragraph will begin with your voice (topic sentence and/or expansion), cite research to reinforce your point, and end with your voice (analysis).

Your conclusion should reinforce the significance of the comparison and contrast. It should not simply restate the thesis.

Compose a works cited page in accordance with MLA guidelines.

Your essay must include 10 active verbs from the List of Descriptive Words to Critique Art(https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/word-lists/list-of-descriptive-words-to-critique-art.html ). Be sure to highlight the active verbs that you use.

Once you have drafted your essay, review it for common grammatical errors. Revise your essay accordingly.
