READING THE ATTACHED ‘ADDITIONAL MATERIAL’ IS REQUIRED.
The paper should be structured in 3 parts. The first part, the introduction, should contain background information about the article, including the full citation and a statement of the topic, as well as a thesis statement about the student’s overall evaluation of the piece. The second part should be a concise summary of the article, describing the author(s)’ argument and what evidence is provided as support. The third section should include the student’s analysis of the article, referencing concepts, assumptions, structure, evidence, logic and conclusions and their appropriateness.
Your critical analysis should be approximately 2500 words (excluding endnotes, parenthetical notes, and bibliography), typed and double-spaced, using a standard 12 point font and standard (1″/2.54 cm) margins. Cover pages are not necessary for this assignment.
Students will be graded on their understanding of the article, the strength of their critical analysis, and their organization and writing style (including grammar and proper use of citation).
Each analysis must include endnotes or parenthetical notes and a bibliography, organized according to the Chicago Style.
NOTE: ALL CITATIONS (whether using footnotes, endnotes or in-text citation) MUST INCLUDE REFERENCES TO PAGE NUMBERS. Students will be penalized for incorrect citation style.
