Presenting

Sharing your work with your professor and others.

Turn the paper in at the place and time required. Be sure your professor gets a clean, professional-looking product. And be sure you have saved the paper in its final form on your computer. You may need or want a clean copy in the future.

Finally, if you are proud of your research paper, consider sharing it with other readers who might be interested in your work. Classmates who worked on a similar topic, professors or teachers you worked closely with in previous semesters or years, or friends who went to different colleges might be curious to read what you've written. Of course, your family is always curious about your work. And if a particular critic has been influential in your work, and you know where that person works, you might even consider sending the paper to a person you've never met, except through your shared interest in a particular writer or work of literature. Doing so is a way to make the circle of conversation about literary works complete. You're unlikely to get a response, but who knows?

Good Luck on your paper!
