Paper Schedule:

M: 10/21: Revised Paper due
Your purpose in this essay is to state and explain a position in response to Amy Goldwasser‘s “What's the Matter with Kids Today“ and/or Sherry Turkle‘s “Can You Hear Me Now?” You should first explore the topic and determine your position or point of view (you may use some of the methods suggested in TSIS and WR). Your exploration should lead you to a working thesis (5c, WR) and a plan to develop that thesis (5d, WR). Please bring your working thesis and plan to class on 10/5. After we review these plans in class, you will write a first draft. Your first draft is due on 10/7. I will return your draft the following week. The final draft, revised in light of the feedback you get from me and from your own careful review (ch. 7 WR), is due on 10/21.
Length: 2.5-4 pages, proofread, double spaced and stapled
What I am looking for:
Analysis of the Goldwasser's and\or Turkle's Argument (what is the argument and how does it work?)
Introduction stating your main point (thesis)
Introduction should include an adequate summary of the conversation you are joining
Body Paragraphs presenting evidence that supports, illustrates, and explains your main point
Conclusion that restates your main point and evidence
Backing up your ideas with examples, specifics, quotes, personal experience or other evidence rather than summarizing
Specifics – not generalizations
Quotes from the text (include at least 3)
Consideration of the issues covered in your WR
Attention to language, grammar, and mechanics
Evidence of Critical Reading and Thinking
Original thought / Independent intellectual effort
