>Treatment of Mentally Handicapped People
=== >Begin your position paper by identifying the issue and your opinion/thesis. This will eventually become your position paper, which is your final semester test grade. You will develop your paper on the issue you have chosen to write about (either mercy killings or the treatment of mentally handicapped people) and support your opinion using the textual evidence (examples and situations from the book) you have been recording, as well as making real-life connections that support your opinion. ===

>Discourse Conventions to remember for Literary Position Paper:

 * In your introduction you MUST refer to the name of the book, which is either underlined (when writing) or italicized (when typing).
 * When writing about literature, always write in present tense (Slim drowns four puppies… NOT Slim drowned four puppies…).
 * Use literary terms to discuss your points (i.e., character, theme, setting, rhyme, point of view, alliteration, symbols, imagery, figurative language, protagonist, and so forth).
 * Include in your introduction a thesis statement that clearly sets forth both your theme and your opinion about about that theme of the literary work.
 * Avoid summarizing the plot or retelling the story; instead, use examples that you explicitly connect to your opinion in a way that supports your opinion (Slim drowns four puppies **because he feels that**...).
 * Support your opinion with many quotations and paraphrases, but write the majority of your paper in your own words with your own ideas.

Is the organization of your peer's paper strong? Does the topic sentence introduce the theme/issue? Is there an obvious thesis/position statement? Does the textual evidence flow logically or jump around? Is there enough textual support? Is there an introduction, body of support, and a conclusion that reiterates their opinion? Remember: you are helping your peers strengthen their papers, just like your peers are helping YOU, so offer productive and constructive suggestions. Hand in each evaluation. === === 2.
