I don't know if this would work for your lit papers as well, as my lit profs have asked me to position my argument historically or do a close reading which didn't need any outside sources. Your best bet would be to ask your prof what he or she expects, or to talk about your own interests and ask them for suggestions on how you could approach the assignment. One prof even let me take a pedagogical approach to a text, which surprised me. Cathy, I’m glad you found it helpful.

Ihave been a loggerheads prepping for a seminar paper and presentation. Please send word on whether this detail source is also in line with English literature papers as well? I am aware that when it comes to thesis proposals for instance we do things slightly different and much more uncomplicated. Cathy Thanks for such a dtailed description of what to do.

There’s a great post at m2h on the structure of seminar papers. John, at Machina Memorialis, discusses a major overhaul he’s making to his science fiction course while Science and Politics tries to nail down the essential science fiction reading list. Dr. Virago details the ups and downs of teaching medieval drama from the Norton anthology and goes on to recount her tempestuous relationship with literature surveys and anthologies.

Whereas now, I feel like I psyche myself out a lot of the time. I have got to quit doing that. Donna also mentioned in class on Monday night that many of our papers may not need a lit review section because there might not be much, if anything, published on our topics. I do take some comfort that many of the other people that I talk to about this seems to struggle with it too.
