Step One: Select a reading from The Conversation. Use the categories at the top of the page or the search bar to find something interesting. https://theconversation.com/us
Step Two: Create an MLA formatted Word document (see Module 0 for directions).
Step Three: Navigate to www.easybib.com. Click on Create Citations, Website, Create Manual Citation, and fill out the following: Website title, publisher (found at the bottom of the page next to the copyright), URL, and date accessed.
Then, copy and paste your bibliography to the Works Cited page. You will need to highlight the bibliography and fix the formatting to Times New Roman, 12 pt. black font.
Step Four: Write a 500-word (or more) analysis of the article. Include the following commentary:
Identify this reading’s thesis. Describe your thoughts about it—is it a good thesis statement? Why or why not? Was it obvious?
Find the topic sentence in two paragraphs. Explain how these topic sentences relate to the thesis. Remember, a topic sentence is a sentence that gives the primary purpose of that paragraph. Find two paragraphs that have solid topic sentences and explain why they work so well.
Find specific evidence from the paragraphs where you selected the topic sentence and explain how it supports the thesis or proves the point in the topic sentence.
Finally, what could the author have done to make this a more effective article?
Remember to cite the source within your paragraph by either mentioning the author’s name and title (in italics) somewhere in the paragraph OR by using a parenthetical citation at the end.
