Analysis Papers Using D.I.E. Framework
The point of the analysis papers is twofold.
1. Show me that you can take a class concept and apply it to
real day relevance.
2. Show me that you can evaluate and determine a credible
source of information.
For this class we will follow is called the D.I.E. Framework.
Describe, Interpret, and
Evaluate. You must describe and define the concept that you
have chosen to use. What’s your
concept? Put it into your own words. What is the object of this
concept? In what kinds of situation
might we find this concept? You must then interpret your
concept with a real world example.
Find an example that really highlights the concept you have
chosen. What are possible
explanations for this example? Bring the concept to life by

6. highlighting the example you’ve
found. How do the two things relate to each other? Finally, you
must evaluate your concept and
example. Bring in the experts. What do they say about the
example you’re using? Where is the
controversy? What is the conflict or dilemma?
You will be writing three analysis paper this semester.
Analysis 1: Use of one concept from Unit 1. (Modules 1-7)
Analysis 2: Use of one concept from Unit 2. (Modules 8-15)
Analysis 3: Use of one concept from Unit 3. (Modules 16-23)
