Week 7 – Collecting References Assignment

Leading into your final Video Argument Presentation, you need to locate some outside sources that will support your argument. Much of academic writing and presenting will require you to go beyond your own opinion to back up your thoughts with research.  In Week 5, you started formalizing your own position on the topic you have chosen for the final presentation.  Now is the time to find sources to help support it.

For this week’s assignment, you must provide three potential sources for your Video Argument Presentation. We want to use solid sources to back up our opinion as we think through logos and ethos in our presentations. To be ethical, of course we will show or mention these sources in the actual presentation as well.

Be sure to review the Week 7 lecture for more detailed information on locating and documenting your sources.

Assignment Requirements:

  • Three sources, formatted as full references in APA style.  Note that these sources should be listed in alphabetical order by the start of each entry (normally the author’s last name).   Each reference should include a hanging indentLinks to an external site.for the second and each additional line of the source.
  • A 100-150 word per sourceblurb (referred to as an “annotation”) that shows you have read the source material and know how you will use the source material in your own presentation.  Each annotation should start with objective summary and then provide your own personal response.  Here are points to include:
    • Evidence that you have read the source carefully and critically and that you understand the points it is making. In your own words, start your annotation by summarizing the source’s argument succinctly and fairly, without adding your opinion.
    • A connection to your own argument. Next, explain how this source supports your side of the issue. How can you use it to establish ethos, pathos, or logos? What do you think about what the source says, and how will it be useful to you for your Video Argument Presentation?

You are not required to submit a title page for this assignment; however, you should use double-spacing and Times New Roman 12-point font.

Be sure to review this week’s lecture for further details on this assignment, advice on getting started, and examples.

Informational Essay: Barack Obama’s ‘A More Perfect Union’

Begin your introduction here. Choose an interview with anyone from history. Speak about the interviewee and provide a life summary about the person. Then, analyze the interview, and provide a brief summary of what the person spoke about. Remember, it is a non-biased approach, so no persuasion should be included. You should simply explain and then analyze what has been discussed. For example, if your interview is on Barack Obama, first, provide a summary of his life, his accomplishments, his prime focus, etc. Then, provide an analysis of the interview, including what he spoke about, his viewpoint, and the prime focus of the interview. In this paragraph, provide the name and occupation of the designated personality. Then, state the main theme of the whole discussion.

Barack Obama’s Life and Accomplishments

In the first body paragraph, describe the life summary of the personality including their achievements, their mark on society, etc. You could talk about President Obama’s early childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia. Give details. What inspired him to become a community activists and attorney? Your descriptions will help the reader form a picture in their mind. Make sure your essay flows naturally. Think about the organization; the order in which you want to provide information.

Summary of the Interview

In the second body paragraph, give the synopsis of the interview. What was the interview about? What was happening in the world when this interview was given? You can also explain why you chose this interview.

Analysis of the Interview

In the third body paragraph, analyze it and state what you understood of it. You could explain how the interview captures the audience. How did the interview successfully convey an idea? Was there sufficient variety in rate, pause, and pitch? Was it memorable? You can also mention the interviewee’s appearance, movements, gestures, and expressions. Did the interviewee achieve his goal of motivating, persuading, or entertaining? Why does this inteview matter?

Conclusion

Provide your conclusion here. Here you will also restate your thesis statement and add a closing statement. This is a spot for reflection and an opportunity to repeat what you said in the previous paragraphs. Your conclusion brings your ideas together and turns five small paragraphs into one complete essay.
