Requirements:

  • 3-4 pages in length
  • MLA 8 Format
  • MLA 8 Works Cited Page
  • Direct quotes🡪 make sure you introduce, integrate, and analyze. Don’t simply “drop in” quotes.
  • Because you are asked to write an analysis of an argument, you are required to evaluate whether or not Wong’s argument was effective or ineffective. Focus on walking your reader through the choices Wong makes and why she makes them in order to make her argument.
  • Intro: strong hook, background context, introduce author & text, identify who the audience is, road map of your analysis, thesis (“In this paper, I will analyze and evaluate…”)
  • Body: topic sentence; identify main claim; introduce evidence used, analyze and evaluate both the effectiveness of the claim & evidence
  • Repeat as necessary

Conclusion: So what? Bigger picture? Why should we care? Was Wong successful or persuasive? What should she add to be more persuasive?
