The content we have been working with will continue to play a part in the MLA papers. This week, Graff and Birkenstein discuss the importance of distinguishing what you say from what your sources say and using a "nay-sayer" as a way to anticipate objections to your point of view and answer those objections to your advantage. As part of their discussion, Graff and Birkenstein stress that you must represent your naysayer's view fairly while at the same time answering objections or conceeding points while maintaining your own argument. Study the "Index of Templates" in the grey pages at the back of the Norton textbook IT 10-IT 14. This week you will respond to the attached article. Before you begin writing, Determine the viewpoint of the article. What positions does it seem to support? What positions is it critical of? Keep clear who espouses what viewpoint. Who is the audience the article might be intended to reach? Who should care about the information here, and why should they care? Then write a brief summary of the article. Include a topic sentence that indicates the author, the name of the article (in quotation marks), and the organ of publication. Include at least three specific details (paraphrase/direct quote) from the article and connect those details back to the main idea. One of your specific details should be from a "naysayer." Conclude by offering a brief analysis or evaluation of the content/information in the article (an "I Say").
