worksheet. Then complete

2.
Paste a link to the article below.
3.
Who is the author of the article? If the article has no
author, do not use it unless it appears on an editorial
page. If that is the situation, write
“(Name of
publication) editorial staff.”
4.
What do you know about the author? Often
,
information
about an author is at the end of the article. If you
can’t find it in the publication, do an Internet search
using the author’s name and see what you can fin
d. If the
author has a common name, put “writer” or “journalist”
after their name to narrow down the search. It is
important that the author of the article be a credible,
reliable source
, so make sure in your answer to provide
evidence that the author is i
ndeed reliable
. Even if the
author is an editorial staff, you could find the names of

–
formatted citation for the source where you found
information about the author.
5. Below, write an APA-formatted citation for the article you are writing about (the argument). Make sure to use a hanging indent in the citation. If you aren’t sure how to do this, view the video in References about formatting an APA paper. This citation should appear as it would in the references list—this should not be a parenthetical in-text citation.
6. What argument is the writer presenting? Find the statement where the author states the argument and copy it here. Put an APA-formatted in-text parenthetical citation after the statement, and put the statement inside quotation marks.
7. What situation prompted the author to write this article? If you need to research to find information, provide APA-formatted citations for that research.
8. Find at least two supporting statements the author uses to defend his/her argument and copy them here. Add an APA-formatted in-text citation after each statement.
9. Provide at least two reasons, with explanations for those reasons, why you disagree with the argument presented in the article.

Argument

.
(The page numbers can be confusing, so make
sure to read
the
chapter
titled “Understanding Argument.”
)
Also read Chapter 2, “Reading an Argument,” in your ebook
.
(A
gain, make sure to check the title of the chapter since
the numbers can be confusing
.)
Next, you must find an a
rgument
to read.
The article must
have an author
—
do not use one in which no author is named.
You will be using this argument
for your next two
assignment
s
, as well.
In one assignment,
you will be
writing your own argument that refutes the one you find to
read. This means that you must disagree with
the argument
the author presents
—
the author’s stance on the argument.
You might agree with a few points the author makes, but you
must disagree with at least one point so that you can wri
te
an argument that states your position.
The argument you choose must ref
er to a timely event
—
something that is in the news now. It is not necessary to
write about a global or national issue.
You do not have to
write about politics.
It can be something that is going on
in your community, or something that is controversial in
yo
ur industry.
Do not write about the abortion debate or
the gay marriage debate.
Try to find something specific to
your community or the industry in which you would like to
work or do work in presently.
The article should be available online so that your
classmates and instructor can read it.
These websites can
be a good start for finding arguments to write about:
http://www.addictinginfo.org/
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/index.html
http://online.wsj.com/public/page/news-opinion-commentary.html
http://cnn.com/OPINION/
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/opinion/index.html
You could also use a search engine to find article about industry issues, or find opinion on the editorial page of most newspapers. Feel free to use your own local newspaper as a source. You could react to an article on the opinion/editorial page about a local issue.
Argument, not news story
The article that you choose must state an opinion and present an argument. It should not be a simple news story. If you find something you agree with that is refuting someone else’s argument, go to that original argument and use it.
Read the argument you have selected carefully. Then download the “Argument Analysis Worksheet,” complete it, and upload it to complete this assignment.
