history of the written word research paper
Write a Research Paper on the Written Word. Go back as far as you can. When did writing start? How has it evolved? Where is it headed?
Many students do a great job documenting the early stages of written communication and then completely leave out the last few hundred years and where they think things are headed. Please remember to include that part too!
Don’t forget a Works Cited page in MLA format.
One final piece of advice: Remember, this paper is on the Written Word, not Language(s). Including information on the spoken word isn’t relevant. This paper should be about how ideas are documented and shared in a visual format.
At the end of your assignment, skip a few lines and assign yourself a grade. Why do you think that you’ve earned that grade? Is there a part of your assignment which could be improved?
