Instructor's Note

Anna’s assignment was to choose a topic and write an informational research paper using six peer reviewed sources. The goal of the paper was to demonstrate not only integration of outside material but also a controlled prose style whereby she moved the reader forward with her concrete nouns and active verbs. What do you learn about Gothic Cathedrals? How does Anna synthesize her quoted material into her own prose? Choose several paragraphs and identify the active verbs, the concrete nouns, the distinctive word choices.
