The essay has to be mla format and has to clearly present the other author’s main ideas, as well as a response, which uses a thesis and specific evidence and explanation to present your own ORIGINAL idea.  In your response, you should “use” the other author’s ideas to develop your own claim. Use the authors overall conclusions, main ideas, as well as key terms and examples. While you will be putting the other authors arguments into your own words, avoid distortion or judgment in the summary. Then, write a response (approximately 250 words) to the articles claims and assertions. You may draw on evidence that supports your position from your personal experience and observations, but also go back into the text to provide illustration for the generalizations you make about the other authors claims. Your response should move from general claims to specifics and progress to a final position. Part I Summary (50 points) A successful summary will use CABIN and thus be: Comprehensive: conveys all the important information Accurate: correctly conveys the authors ideas, findings and arguments Brief: conveys the information concisely, avoiding unimportant details Independent: makes sense to a reader who has not read the original Neutral: avoids judgements and opinions Part II Response (50 points) A successful response will demonstrate: a serious engagement with the text, which attempts to listen and understand as well as talk back to the other authors argument a movement from generalizations to specifics, which develops the general claims with specific examples from the original text and/or your own observations and experience in an effort to convince your reader a clear explanation of how your examples support and develop your claims as we discussed during the Object Diagram exercise. Both the summary and the response will be evaluated on the quality of the prose and the proper use of grammar and MLA citation strategies. Your writing should enhance, rather than hinder, the readers understanding. The source is down below.
