Sample Paper
As this former student’s paper (used with her permission) demonstrates, it is possible to present the central argument of a book (and thus a much shorter article) in one page. The keys are understanding the article and keeping focus.

Grade Sheet
- The grade sheet is for submission only with REWRITES. Do NOT include it with original papers.
- Fill in only the boxed information at the top of the page; the instructor fills in the rest.
- Be sure that this sheet is page 1 of your rewrite; your essay is page 2. (Just cut and paste your paper to the end of the sheet.)
- Please adjust the grade sheet if your use of it changes the spacing. The info should fit on one page.
- GRADE SHEET for one-page papers
Parenthetical Notes
Do not document facts and ideas in one-page papers. Your identification (author, title, date) of article in your introductory paragraph tells readers where the info is from. HOWEVER, whenever you quote, you must identify the page where the quotation appears. And, of course, the quotation must be 100 percent accurate.
