ARTICLE Uploaded as additional materials
You should read the article carefully.
Your report should be typewritten, double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font, with one inch margins.
Write a summary of the article. Be sure to identify the author’s argument. They are never writing just to tell you something; they want you to believe them instead of someone else!
After you have summarized the content you should then write an evaluation of the article. Do you buy the argument? What do you think of the evidence?
The summary and the evaluation should be at least equal or the evaluation a bit longer than the summary. I will read the article myself! I want to hear you!
You should aim for 3-5 pages in length, at least 1000 words.
Please be aware it will be run through TurnItIn.
Some questions you should consider when writing the evaluation:
What is the subject of the article?
What is the author’s argument? (required!)
What is the authors purpose in writing the article?
Does the author present facts that support his point of view?
What kind of sources has the author used in the article? What specific sources have been used? What quality are they?
Is the article well documented? (Does it have good footnotes or endnotes that let you know exactly where the author got the information?
Is there evidence of bias on the part of the author?
Did you find the article informative?
Did you find the article entertaining or interesting?
Did the article make you want to learn more about the subject?
