Goals
Analyzing and
Comparing Reference Source Articles
- Identify a topic that interests you.
- Collect 3 or 4 articles from the library on the Internet. Mix levels: some popular level and some technical level. If this cannot be done with your topic, explain why in your email to the group.
- Freewrite in a variety of prewriting activities ( outlining, brainstorming with the "blimp")to warm-up for the source analysis essay.
- Highlight your your structural points in any order as you read each article. Used statistics, etc. Try using a colorful highlighter pen--makes them fast to find later. A different color pen for different points also helps.
- Organize your paper now. Introduce by telling about what kinds of articles you were able to find, how hard this was, problems, surprises, distribution of articles. Describe either point-by-point or artciel-by-article. Conclude with what you learned. Which articles were better constructed and why?
- Respond to peers' drafts.
- Revise your own draft, keep in mind feedback from peers and instructor.
