Below are some guidelines to consider when writing about your analysis.
Theme - the general idea that you plan to write about. The theme is developed from the packet of articles that have been chosen. Once you highlight the packet, it’s time to narrow the information into a single theme.
In order to narrow your theme from the larger pool of highlighted material, a few questions might help you pick a theme:
Who? Who did something about the subject that made an impact on you? Who else is involved? Who agrees or disagrees with your position?
What? What happened? What has been said on the subject? What new information has come to light? What have you learned about the subject?
When? When did it happen? When was the last debate on the subject? When will the subject have the greatest effect?
Where? Where does the subject affect the most people? Where was it successful? Where was it a failure?
Why? Why did it take place? Why does it matter? Why do people need to be involved?
How? How did it happen? How did it succeed or fail? How can it be repeated?
Once you have narrowed the packet down to your theme, start to form your paragraph around this idea.
Be clear - your reader should have no doubt about where you stand on the issue.
Keep the essay heading toward a definite conclusion.
Include 2 or 3 quotes from the packet of articles - Cite the quote by the author’s last name
Find a recent article in the news to attach to your essay.
Essay can be single-spaced and must fit on one page
