Assignment: Research Your Topic

For each source that you evaluate for Essay, answer the following questions. The last question asks that you write a paragraph or two summarizing your article and picking out direct quotes. If you make a real effort to write a quality summary, complete with in-text citations, then writing your rough draft will be MUCH easier!

Question I. Where is this source from? CQ Researcher, Academic Search Complete, NPR, or PBS Newshour? Another website?

Question II. What term did you use in the search bar? Did you use Google to find this source?

Question III. Why did you choose this article to summarize?

Question IV. If from a database, copy and paste the MLA citation here. If from NPR, PBS Newshour, or another website, copy and paste the URL:

Question V. (1) Is this article recent, within the past five years? (2) Is it still relevant? (For example, an article about issues in the 2020 election may still be within the past five years, but the issues may have changed since the election.)

Question VI. What is the intended purpose of this article? Is it presenting information to inform the audience, is it arguing for the audience to believe something, is it persuading the audience to do something, or is it to entertain? Explain how you know.

Question VII. Is the source reputable? Is it trustworthy? Explain your answer.

Question VIII. Finally, write a 1-2 paragraph summary of the article. Focus on interesting information that you learned about your topic. Include specific details in your summary; if I cannot tell that you read the article based on your summary, you will not receive points for this assignment. Include 1-3 direct quotes. Each direct quote should only be 1-2 sentences long and end with an in-text citation.
