This final part of the paper assignment is not a traditional multiple paragraph paper with an opening and closing paragraph. Instead, your paper will consist of a series of mini assignments which you will submit in a single paper Part 1: identify the author’s thesis. Remember a thesis may not be in the opening section of the book. Remember that there could be more than one thesis. You want to identify the main point your author wants the reader to take away from the book. Also in this section include specific evidence used by the author to support his or her thesis. You are not trying to prove the thesis is correct, but rather just show what is offered by the author to make the thesis. Be sure to use in text citation for all ideas and evidence offered by the author. You may use the following format: (Author’s last name, page number) or (Smith, p. 145) Aim for about 300-500 words not including the quoted text you use. Part 2: Objective Critique. In this section you will review the author’s work and ideas from an objective stand point. This means using critical thinking and fact based analysis. Some questions that will help you get started: To what extent do you think the author’s ideas are accurate? How does bias play a role, if at all? Is this work significant? You may critique any aspect of the book you want, but for all comments you make be sure to remember an objective Critique means it is measurable and provable. You will need to include specific examples from the book itself to make your analysis clear. There is no single right or wrong critique as your work will be graded on your ability to analysis and show evidence of your ideas. Aim for 300-500 words not included the quoted text you use. Be sure to use in text citation to show ideas that are not your own from your book. (Similar to citation in part 1) Part 3: Subjective Critique. In this section, you are offering your personal reflection of the book. Subjective is based on feelings and cannot be proven. Feelings are what they are and can not be wrong? Use this section to reflect on your personal (not analysis) reaction to the book and what you learned? For example here are some questions to get you started? Did you like the book? Would you recommend it to someone? What did you learn from reading? How might it have been a better book? Aim for 300 words. part 4 Bibliography in this last section, list your sources used in part 1 in correct MLA or APA format.
