Double-Spaced, Typed

This project has two sections. You will label them on the page as Parts A and B.

Part A will be a straightforward summary with none of your own opinion. Here’s the biggest question to consider for this section: what does this book say? This part will be 1-2 pages. You may use quotes from the book, but you should do so sparingly.

Part B will be an analysis of the book’s key arguments. This part will be 1-2 pages.You may want to think about analysis through the following questions. Is this a valid argument? Does the book persuade you of something? What are the implications of the author’s argument? What’s the best evidence that the author uses? Why is this good evidence? Here’s the biggest question to consider for this section: Why does this book matter?

You may use quotes from the book, but you should do so sparingly. Remember the rule, only use quotes if the original statement is utterly brilliant and impossible to put into your own words. REMEMBER, if you use quotes from any part of this book or any other source, you MUST PUT THEM IN QUOTATION MARKS and cite them in any way that shows me the origin of the quote.

I am more than happy to read rough drafts. You must bring them to my office or set up an appointment to revise the draft.
