Assignment
Write a comparative analysis of two sources from your Annotated Bibliography
. Analyze concrete details in both sources to establish an insightful relationship
between the two authors ideas or structures.
Strategies
¢Identify the main differences and similarities between the two sources.
¢Create an argument, or thesis, about the relationship between two sources.
¢Support your argument with evidence from the sources.
¢Use So What? to push your analysis and argument further, particularly in the conclusion.
¢Use the Comparative Analysis Grid worksheet in the Unit 3 folder as a guide.
Considerations for Evaluation
1. Does the thesis clearly establish an insightful relationship between the two sources? Is there a So What?
2. Does the micro-task offer a focused analysis of details that supports a larger claim about the language, audience, or structure of the two sources?
3. Does the micro-task remain independent and objective by paraphrasing the authors words accurately, using internal citations and a minimum of quotations,
and avoiding judgment or personal association?
4. Does the task exhibit coherence through a logical flow of ideas and the use of well-developed paragraphs, transitions, attributive tags, and strong verbs? Does
it adheres to MLA/APA format and citation standards and contains few, if any, grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors?
