Article Analysis
Develop an analysis of a current and relatable issue, propose a solution, and explain the reason(s) your solution is the best course of action
be based on an appropriate, manageable topic using at least ten credible, relevant, in-depth, and current sources
use a variety of sources appropriate to the topic, such as books, popular and scholarly periodical articles, websites, interviews, surveys, or audiovisual material (Note: of the final sources, only two general Internet sources, such as websites or articles published on the open web that do not appear in a reputable publication, will count towards the 10 required sources)
develop an analysis or persuasive argument related to the topic, rather than present a report on information about the topic (convince the reader that you are correct, versus just laying out information)
Integrate at least 3 multimodal elements—or ways of presenting your ideas other than text (e.g. images, video, audio, etc.)—into the report
be written to engage a college-level audience in an organized, coherent way
include a focused, clear thesis statement that reflects your purpose and guides the direction of your paper
support the thesis with clear assertions, explanations, or well-reasoned arguments
use evidence and research findings to support the analysis or argument thoroughly and accurately
integrate source material effectively through the use of quotations, paraphrase, or summary
give credit to sources from which facts, ideas, and quotations are taken using MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page
