ENG 112 090N – Organization Analysis Paper

Due Date: March 28, 2018 Points Worth: 15 Page Requirement: 4-6

Organization Analysis Paper

You will write a 4-6 page paper analyzing the organization of an article surrounding a current event found online. The topic is open ended, but must be classroom appropriate. Following the Checklist found in From Critical Thinking to Argument on page 228, you will examine how the article handles the topic, makes claims, offers support, organizes the information, and communicates everything to the reader in their attempt to be successful. At least 3-5 quotes are required to be cited in this paper in order to help you fully explain your analysis. Use the checklist on page 191 to check your own paper’s elements as well. See schedule for due dates.

Paper Format

All papers should be double-spaced, in 12 point, Times New Roman font, with one inch margins. Always document sources throughout your paper carefully and accurately. Use MLA guidelines to document your sources (See Rules for Writers or the Purdue OWL link on Blackboard).

Things to Consider:

A Checklist for Organizing an Argument (228)

· Does the introduction let the readers know where the author is taking them?

· Does the introduction state the problem or issue?

· Does it state the claim (the thesis)?

· Does it suggest the organization of the essay, thereby helping the reader to follow the argument?

· Do subsequent paragraphs support the claim?

· Do they offer evidence?

· Do they face objections to the claim and offer reasonable responses?

· Do they indicate why the author’s claim is preferable?

· Do transitions (signposts such as Furthermore, In contrast, and Consider as an example) guide the reader through the argument?

· Does the essay end effectively, with a paragraph bringing a note of closure – for instance, by indicating that the proposed solution is relatively simple? By admitting that although the proposed solution will be difficult to implement, it is certainly feasible? By reminding the reader of the urgency of the problem?
