For this 5-page/1,250 word (minimum) essay, you will offer a critical analysis of your text using one of the search models we have discussed in class. This essay should include a short introduction that identifies your research question, your chosen search model, and your thesis/argument statement. I am more interested in this essay in your analysis and critical findings than in a description of your method. Focus the majority of the paper (3 of the 4 pages, for example), on your analysis.
You will need to appropriately cite a minimum of five scholarly sources (including the speech). This assignment must be typed and follow MLA or APA format, including parenthetical citations and bibliography.
PLEASE NOTE: For all essays, your writing will be accountable to the highest standards of argumentation, eloquence, grammar, spelling, and academic integrity. Assignments should be double-spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. Use MLA or APA for works cited and an active, clear, and eloquent voice indicative of the humanities. Any source referenced (whether a class reading or outside source) must be properly cited both in the text and in a Works Cited list at the end of your paper. Quotations always require page numbers.
