Matthew is working on two writing assignments: a literary research paper addressing Dickens' criticism of the rigid Victorian social class system, and the final literary analysis of Great Expectations. As Matthew had questions about MLA format for his paper, I provided additional instruction on how to prepare a Works Cited page for books and web articles and how to cite these research sources within the text of the paper. I projected examples as I spoke. Next, we discussed the structure of the literary essay analyzing which ending of Great Expectations is most consistent with the bildungsroman genre. Per our discussion,Matthew made some revisions to his introduction and determined where to place his thesis statement. We then discussed various ways to organize the argument and how to use relevant textual support . HW- complete essay, hand in draft of research paper.
