YOU MUST DO RESEARCH
to aid you in writing this assignment, and you must use proper MLA documentation that accurately credits your sources.
-For this assignment, a secondary source is one that discusses or analyzes your chosen story. Many academic journals contain articles that discuss short stories. You must locate your secondary sources from the library databases (such as Gale Literary Databases, Academic Search Complete, Literature Resource Center, Gale Virtual Reference Library).
Secondary sources such as Shmoop, Cliff’s Notes, SparkNotes, enotes.com, bookrags.com, 123helpme.com, Wiki anything, and exampleessays.com ARE UNACCEPTABLE. Your secondary source must come from an academic journal or published book.
NOTES AND REMINDERS:
– If you submit an essay with plagiarism in it, your instructor will determine the consequences, which could be as much as a 0 on the assignment or dismissal from the course.
-Primary Source: The piece of literature you are analyzing is your primary source.
-Secondary Sources: The literary criticism found in the Literary Reference Center in GALILEO is the secondary source. You may use more than four secondary sources.
4 secondary sources is the minimum required for this assignment.
– Use MLA FORMAT (Times New Roman 12; double spaced; 1 inch margins; headnote; MLA pagination with last name page number inserted using header function).
– You must use
quotations and paraphrases
from both the literature selection you are analyzing AND from the four secondary sources. Use correct in-text citation formatting. Remember that quotations must connect to your words and cannot stand alone in the essay as floating quotes are fragments.
– When quoting from a story, you use the author and page number in the parentheses. When quoting poetry, you must use the space/space format between lines of the poem and put the line number in the parentheses. Ex. Cullen concludes, “Of all the things that happened there / That’s all I remember” (11-12). -

Identify the source of knowledge—deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, or the scientific approach—most prominently used in the following examples:
a. After extensive observation of reactions, Lavoisier concluded that combustion is a process in which a burning substance combines with oxygen. His work was the death blow to the old phlogiston theory of burning.
b. Dalton, after much reflection, concluded that matter must consist of small particles called atoms. His early assumptions became the basis for the atomic theory.
c. Later scientists took Dalton’s assumptions, made deductions from them, and proceeded to gather data that confirmed these assumptions. They found support for the atomic theory.
d. Knowing that radioactive substances constantly give off particles of energy without apparently reducing their mass, Einstein developed the formula E = mc
2
for converting matter into energy.
e. Accepting Einstein’s theory, Fermi carried on experimentation that resulted in splitting the atom.
f. After studying reinforcement theory, a teacher hypothesizes that using a tutorial computer program will lead to superior achievement in arithmetic. She devises a study in which the tutorial is used with two sixth-grade classes, whereas conventional materials are used with two other sixth-grade classes. -
