ARTICLE ANALYSIS: HUMANITIES ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
This essay needs to be written in formal academic style using APA, MLA, or Turabian guidelines. Do not simply create a list of answers; you need to craft a strong, argumentative essay with an introduction, clear topic sentences, developed paragraphs, transitions, clear organization, a conclusion, and a working thesis statement (among other expectations of academic style) to control the entire piece.
The essay must contain 1000-1250 words. When you cite from our textbook and your selected source(s), you must cite according to current APA, MLA, or Turabian guidelines. Do not create a simple list of answers; balance your answers by creating paragraphs that address similar areas as you work through these answers. Again: a bullet list of answers is not enough. Be sure to write this in formal, academic prose, and be sure to support your answers by using source material—through correct formatting—from your article(s) and textbook.
