One Page Paper Assignment (Due Monday 10/6)

Research and write a one-page (@300 words) paper on the topic assigned to you below. Title the paper at the center of the top line, but do not change the settings (1” top and bottom margins, 1.25” left and right margins) and be sure to double-space and use size 12 Times New Roman font. Use parenthetical citation and include a Works Cited list that has one book, one encyclopedia entry, and one on-line source. You must also use and cite one quote in your paper.

These papers should contain two paragraphs, one that presents a brief biography of your writer and one that discusses his or her relative position and importance within the Romantic movement. These papers are due on Monday, October 6 and will be worth 50 points, 15 for the list of Works Cited, 10 for accurate citations, and 25 for the appearance, structure, and content. Be sure to refer to the MLA section of the Hacker guide as you construct your paper!
