1. Discussion: Module 2: Is the American Century Over? -

The participation and engagement score is holistic.

Some questions to think about for this module (though you don't have to explicitly answer them):

1. What are the main arguments of the book?

2. What do you think of them? In other words, do you buy what the author is trying to convince you of?

3. Do the book feel dated? It was published in 2016. Do you think the US has "declined" since then or that other countries have substantially risen in power?

2. Is the American Century Over Book Review

Here are questions to keep in mind when you write your book reviews.

1) Does the review have a title that reflects the main point of view you are trying to get across?

2) Does the review start with an introduction that gets the reader's attention?

3) Does the review address the main points and the arguments that the author of the book is trying to make?

4) Does the review discuss the evidence the author of the book uses to make these points?

5) Does the review comment on how effective the author is in making these points? What aspects of the book deserve praise and what need to be critiqued? For example, does the author succeed in convincing the reader about the main point of the book?

6) Is each paragraph in the review held together by one clear idea?

7) Does the start of each paragraph have a topic sentence that contains the main idea of the rest of the paragraph? Does each paragraph flow naturally to the next?

8) Has the review been checked for clarity and small mistakes?

9) Does this review represent your best work?
