While I do not expect you to have any sources beyond the text itself, if you find yourself using another source, create a works cited page and be sure to use in-text citation. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism and will be met with a zero on the assignment and an office referral.

The scoring rubric will be as follows:

Thesis – 10 Introduction – 10 Character Development – 20
Theme – 20 Supporting Details – 20 Organization – 10
Usage and Grammar – 10 MLA Formatting – 10
