[ Introduction and Description | Schedule and Readings | Assessment and Policies | Related Resources ]Suggested Length: 300 words
Due in tutorial, Tuesday 18 March [Please 1) print your completed assignment, staple it to the article you have summarized, and hand it to your tutor and 2) upload a soft copy to your tutor's workbin]
You will be given a reference to an article about either Michael Ondaatje's novel The English Patient or the Miramax movie The English Patient. You will need to produce an entry on the article for an annotated bibliography on the novel movie. You will thus need to produce a correctly formatted bibliographical reference to the article, and then a summary of its content of less than 300 words. The summary should be entirely your own work.
1. Correct formatting of bibliographical reference following MLA Style.
For a detailed account of MLA style see:
2. Content of summary accurately reflects article.
3. Summary is well-written and coherent.
4. Conciseness. Marks will be deducted from assignments that are over-length.
Note that you are only given minimal information here. Part of the challenge for you will be finding the article before you summarise it. All articles listed here are accessible to you via the internet, closed databases such as Literature Online or journals, or can be found in hard copy in the NUS library. In one or two cases you will find a fellow-student has the same task: if this is the case please work independently: at the most you might share strategies to find the essay, but the note-taking and writing process should be entirely independent.
If you really cannot find the article make sure you approach your tutor well in advance of the deadline. Do try hard first, however, because all articles are almost certainly available to you.
