Write an essay in which you evaluate the article:
A few questions to consider while reading the essay:
1) Is the issue the writer is taking a position on clear? Is there enough evidence to convince you that the problem exists? An issue is the problem concerning which people have different points of view.
2) What is the writer’s position/thesis? Are there any ambiguous words in the thesis that need clarification?
3)What are the major claims (grounds) the writer presents and what evidence does the writer provide to support those claims? Does the writer back up his or her claims?
4) Does the writer provide opposing viewpoints, and argue why he or she disagrees with them?
5) Do the claims collectively support the writer’s thesis?
