English 102: Writing as a Way of Knowing, Critical Analysis Assignment

Choose any one of the readings assigned prior to February 23rd on the course syllabus and write a critical evaluation essay of it using the strategies we have discussed in class. You must directly engage with the text you choose in formulating your evaluation. This means you will have to make use of direct quotations from and references to the text you discuss. Use the latest MLA Style Guide for formatting both the citations within your paper (in-text/parenthetical citations) and your “works cited” page at the end of your paper. The course text, Emerging, is the only text you should be referencing for this paper. Consult the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (Purdue OWL) website for detailed help with all aspects of proper MLA style formatting: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.)
