Additional Guidelines for BA5

For Brief Assignment 5 due this Tuesday:

Remember, all assignments, unless instructed otherwise, should be like a MINI ESSAY. What does this mean? Well, you should include the following:
1. An Introduction
2. A thesis statement
3. A body supporting your thesis
4. A conclusion
5. Follows MLA in-text citations and works cited

This assignment is a mini-rhetorical analysis of an argument, so evaluate HOW the author presents their argument effectively or ineffectively.
Answer questions like: 
What is the author's argument? What is the author's purpose? What sources do they rely on? How does this evidence demonstrate the authors’ ideology? Do they make appeals to emotion, ethics, and/or logic?


Go beyond whether or not you agreed with the argument to evaluate its effectiveness logically. What underlying premises or assumptions does the author make that reveals their theoretical framework? Remember, a theoretical framework refers to how the writer views the world and what type of knowledge the writer values. Remember to provide evidence from the text that supports your claims and to integrate this evidence effectively into your writing.
