Upload your critical analysis in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format. All submissions will be run through the TurnItIn database, so be sure that all quotes and references to the text are properly cited so they are not flagged for plagiarism. The objective is just to have you concretize, via the exercise, your understanding of the particular topic brought up, and the ways in which it applies to the larger body of works that we’re studying. This is not a term paper, so you don’t need a thesis statement. Do provide references for direct quotations, of course (either MLA, APA, or Chicago Style), as well as a proper Works Cited page. The idea is to convince me that you’ve understood the main points of the text’s message. I provide you with a grading rubrique below–please go over it carefully. I’ve also uploaded to the “Files” tab the sample analysis from another class, on another topic; but you can see how this student analyzed the reading in a fairly successful way.Grading rubric:_____ / 20 Structure: Evident, understandable, appropriate.
