Question :
Write a focused essay critiquing any one of the major articles we will have read thus far: Graff, Merrow, Sacks, Sperber, or Washburn (Tuchman, Reader 224 ff., offers yet another perspective, for those of you wanting to hear another voice in the debate).
Do you agree or disagree with the general argument or situation the author presents?
Are there any assumptions (unspoken values/beliefs) that you find problematic or evidence that you don't find compelling; do any factors exist the author didn't consider?
Be sure to interrogate your own assumptions in framing your response, and (especially if you are challenging the author's evidence in any way) to provide some evidence of your own. If you wish, construct your essay as a letter to the author.
If you present your ideas as a formal essay rather than a letter, imagine your audience to be your classmates who have read the piece but not thought about it as thoroughly as you and who may be somewhat skeptical of your claims.
Make sure that it's clear to your audience why this issue matters.
