Begin by locating Galileo on the library’s web site. Then access the database JSTOR. Type in The Scarlet Letter, (one “t” in “Scarlet”), and various articles published in different journals will appear, many full-text. (Do not use sources such as “Google” or “Yahoo.” Do not use a public library.) If you have difficulty with this aspect of the assignment, any reference librarian at a GPC campus can assist you. Locate six full-text articles from approved journals (see below) on The Scarlet Letter, read them, and summarize the main points of each using your own language and style. You will present each annotation in the format described below. That’s it! Requirements: 1. All articles must come from journals on the “Approved Journals” list. (See “2.” below.) Also, do not use reviews of plays, operas, or movies. Do not use comparison articles. (If the name of another work is included in the article title, assume it is a comparison paper, and discard it.) Do not use reviews published before 1930. Do not use the following sources: Nineteenth Century Literature Criticism (NCLC), Booklist, or Publishers` Weekly. Do not use abstracts. (Read the entire article.) In summary, annotate critical articles from approved journals written after 1930 focusing specifically on the original work itself. I will discard annotations that do not meet the above criteria. 2. Approved Journals List: Do not use any journal not listed below. I will discard any annotation from a journal that is not on the approved list. Approved Journals: Explicator; ATQ (The American Transcendental Quarterly); ELH(English Literary History); American Literature; PMLA; College English; Modern Language Notes; Novel: A Forum on Fiction; The New England Quarterly; Studies in the Novel; Yale Journal of Criticism; College Literature; Studies in American Fiction; Midwest Quarterly. (Deduction: -25 for each entry using a journal other than those on the approved list.)  If the article you located is not published in one of the above highlighted journals, do not use it! 3. You may use the same or different journals for each annotation as long as the journal is on the Approved Journal list. The articles do not have to focus on the same theme or topic in their discussions of The Scarlet Letter. 4. Locate SIX critical articles written about The Scarlet Letter. The articles may focus on any aspect of the work. Each annotation should NOT exceed 1/3 of a page. Font size should be 12 and font Times New Roman. Three annotations will fit on one page. (Part of the challenge of the assignment is to produce a succinct, concise annotation, i.e. a “précis.”) List your name only at the top. A cover page is not required. How long is the paper? : Two pages. 5. Use MLA format. If you have a question about MLA documentation, consult James Lester’s Writing Research Papers: A Complete Guide or the most recent edition of the MLA Handbook.
