 Job Sheet 1.1
Your task is to write a critical review of a myth or story found in your region or hometown. It
may be written in English or in other languages.

Writing Short Paper

A short paper is literally “short.” It consists of one or two pages of written critique that will
succinctly discuss your idea, realization, or concept regarding a literary selection. The point here is
to introduce your idea or discovery about a literary selection.

Tips in Writing Short Paper

1. Choose a literary selection that you want to analyze.
2. Always begin with an outline.
3. Start with a joke, an anecdote, or a quotation from the literary text as your
introduction.(The idea is to hook your readers so that they will be more willing to
listen to your idea).
4. The body of your essay must try to discuss the relation of your idea with the
literary text.
5. The conclusion is just like any conclusion when you are writing an essay –
summarize what you have said or discussed in the body in two to three sentences.
