Topically or Chronologically

TOPICALLY:

This arrangement requires you to establish categories relating to the authors life. Some might include

Religious affiliations
Awards/recognitions
Family life
Influences
Dysfunctions

CHRONOLOGICALLY:

This form of organization would require you to address the authors life from birth to death, or until our current period in history. Your categories might be structured including

Circumstances of birth
Region of birth
Climate of the region (This is not related to weather, but rather what was the political, economic, social setting?)
Early Years
Adolescence
Middle Years

Within each of these categories, you would need to include the items identified in the TOPICAL organizational pattern.

The paper will receive a ZERO if any of the following apply:

It is not in MLA format.
The in-text citations do not match the respective works cited entries. Be prepared to handle these carefully, as many of your works cited entries will start with the same word: authors name. That means the in-text citations would have that first and then the first word of the next part of the entry.
The paper is submitted in a format other than WORD.
The works cited entries are not ALL represented in the paper.
Any portion of the paper is not original to the student author.
The author was not approved by me.
The paper does not meet minimum standards.
The paper contains excessive grammatical problems.
The paper is not submitted on time.
The material used is not from the PSC databases.
Other reasons regarding format, Standard English, or inappropriate structure/organization
