From My Perspective
In our introduction, we must identify the title and author of the chosen article, and give a brief summary of what we are analyzing. Then, we must all analyze the rhetoric, the writing, and the argument of the article. We should also state our idea about the quality of the argument.
In our essay's body, we should include details and examples from the essay that support the introduction's analysis. We should also make note of the interesting aspects of the essay, such as logos, pathos, and ethos, etc. Our opinions regarding our analysis need to be supported with examples and reasons.
We can use outside research, however, it isn't required , but can be beneficial to our analysis. We must be able to tell a difference between the article's views and our own response to them.
In the conclusion of the essay, we need to restate our conclusion about the quality of the argument, and summarize the analysis and the arguments to support it.
The idea of the assignment is analyze another person's point of view on a topic and evaluate the effectiveness of the argument, as well as create our own arguments.
Your last paragraph sums up almost the entire assignment. We are evaluating the effectiveness of the author's argument. Well written! It will be a learning experience to analyze someone else's writing almost like Mr. Sentell does when he grades ours. Only difference is we are not giving grades, or are we?
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job summarizing what we are instructed to do for our essay 2 assignment. You stated exactly what we are supposed to do and cleared up any questions I had. I really enjoyed your last paragraph. Your last paragraph perfectly summarized the point for our essay 2 assignment.
Amanda, you wrote a great summary! You listed all the requirements, and I think you have a very good idea of what is expected of us. Jason and Sara were correct about your last paragraph. It simply stated all the requirements of the essay into one sentence. I'm sure you will write a great paper, and I wish you luck!
