Read the play Los Vendidos

Read the play Los Vendidos by Luis Valdez (in the Worthen anthology).  Write a paper in which you develop a clear and detailed argument about what you think the play aims to communicate and how successful it is.  To help flesh out your discussion on the play’s techniques, you should draw on material from some of the course readings, including direct quotations from at least two authors.

Papers should be 4-6 pages long (double-spaced), and should conform to MLA style.  .

*Please note that this is NOT a research assignment.  In fact, I would request that you not use outside sources, as you are being assessed on your own analysis of the play and your understanding and application of class materials.  When you quote from class materials, please include in-text citations referencing author and page number, and create a Works Cited list at the end.

 

You will be assessed on the following criteria:

· A clear thesis statement and argument that is carried through the paper

· Writing mechanics and style (grammar, punctuation, clarity, etc.)

· Usage of textual detail/evidence

Understanding and usage of the course materials
