English 12 Period 1
• AR rdg 20 mins
• Conventions of Literary Analysis: An academic paper is formal, unlike personal essays such as our college application essay. Formal papers are only about their subject, not about the writer of the essay.
1. Do not say I or me or my or talk about your essay. Talk only about the literature or the author’s techniques using 3rd person: it, he, she, they
2. Contractions are informal. Don’t = Do not. Do not use contractions.
3. Do not use slang, use only standard English. Write man, not guy or dude. Say many, not a bunch or a lot.
