Assignment 1: “We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.”– Bill Gates Our first assignment is a Review Essay. For this assignment you will find 5 scholarly articles. Read them and follow this outline:
•Introduction paragraph(s) (no more than 2). What is the general topic? How is the topic defined? What are the issues?
oYour introduction cannot be more than the first page (including your basic heading). If you are writing more than that, then your “introduction” is really a long summary.
•Paragraph 2 (or 3). “This Review Essay will explore… It will examine…” What is the point of this essay? What will I get out of it?
oAgain this should only be one paragraph. Briefly explain what the goal of your paper is. Think of this as the abstract of the academic journal articles you search through, which you use to decide whether to keep reading. It tells the reader what to expect.
•Body of the paper. Follow what you mapped out in Paragraph 2.
Discuss the ideas of each article in isolation and how they work together. What can be learned by combining what the articles are saying?
