Paper Format:
Ideas that you have learned or abilities that you have developed this term may be discussed in your paper. Be sure to use Encore events to illustrate your points.
Guidelines:
-
Use specific examples from Encore events (required)
-
You may ask your Writing Instructor for help
-
Do not summarize. Analyze!
-
Avoid using weak verbs such as “liked” and “disliked”
-
For each event, keep together your ticket stub and your program for review and your notes from the performance to prepare for the paper.
Note: The Encore staff reserves the right to return a well-intentioned but poorly written Encore paper for revision by a specified deadline .
Timeline:
-
After each event, write down some comments for future reference
-
Shortly after midterm, draft an outline of the paper
-
Two weeks before your Encore paper is due, review a draft with your Writing Lecturer or a tutor at the Tutorial Center. Be sure to make an appointment in advance!
-

If there is a discrepancy between our records and your records, having the programs and ticket stubs from all of the performances you attended will help solve the problem faster!)
