Structure Guide for the Paper
Interpretation – This is the introduction to your paper. You will explain your topic and introduce your thesis and topic in one or two paragraphs.
Analysis and Presentation of your Argument – This will be the largest section of your paper. You will give a full analysis of the situation (in this case totally reflecting on the Parker reading and the question(s) you were asked to explore) and present a strong argument about it. You may use your reading as a reference if appropriate, but mostly your personal interpretation is the key for this paper. You may present both sides of the argument if you wish.
Evaluation – The Evaluation section provides an opportunity to critically examine the facts and/or arguments used. Evaluate the situation citing specific examples to support your statements. You also can present the other side of the argument if you choose and tell which side you believe would be strongest. In this case study you will not use outside resources.
Summarize – Give a Final Summary of your thoughts. This section will be a couple of paragraphs.
The paper should be 12-font and double-spaced with a single-spaced heading.
