ENG 122 Importance of Analysis Assignment Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: This week, you learned about active reading and analysis by looking more closely at a selected reading. In doing so, you unco vered ideas in the “Turning Off, Dining In” article that may have been difficult to identify during your literal reading of the text.
To prepare for this assignment, please reread your selected article and your notes from Module One. Then, in a Microsoft Word document, answer the following questions:
? Discuss the context of your selected article, the authors purpose, and the style and tone. What have you learned from this early analysis? ? How will a closer analysis of the authors claim and the structure of the writing help you learn more about your selected reading? ? Now that you have discussed the authors purpose for writing the selected reading, do you think the authors writing is effective in achieving their
purpose? What led you to this conclusion?
In total, the reflection should be three fully developed paragraphs in length. (Consider one paragraph per question, 58 sentences each.) Remember to refer to the rubric below to make sure you’re fulfilling the requirements for this assignment.
