Students will study academic writing skills (especially critical reading skills, rhetorical strategies, and research methods) and deploy them beyond the classroom in different local writing genres (The Hoot, Wikipedia, and newspapers). Academic and non-academic readings in the assigned genres of writing will be assigned as models.

{{assignment|Assignment - Original analytical paper}}

A Wikipedia article is like an academic literature review: the writer researches what others have said about the subject, vets their sources, and summarizes the most important information. The purpose of a Wikipedia article or a literature review is always to inform, never to persuade. Wikipedia contributors summarize what experts have said in peer-reviewed academic journals and other fact-checked sources in the most unbiased ways they can.

This assignment asks you to take the next step: to persuade. Using the research your group did together on your subject, write a 2-page paper in MLA format that presents an argument.

Check Canvas for further details.

{{assignment milestones|You've finished your Wikipedia assignment!}}

Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
