Essay 2: Enter the Conversation
Percentage of Final Grade: 15% or 150 points
Learning Objectives:
·
Students will understand academic writing as a conversation about topics of consequence.
· Students will understand their responsibilities as writers – to accurately cite the work of other writers, to provide their audience with reliable information, and to consider multiple points of view.
· Students will understand academic writing as governed by the conventions of specific discourse communities.
· Students will become more critical readers, learning strategies for previewing, annotating, summarizing analyzing, and critiquing texts.
· Students will acquire informational literacy – the ability to locate and evaluate source material.
· Students will improve their ability to write clear and compelling thesis statements.
· Students will develop the skill of constructive critique, focusing on higher order concerns during peer workshops.
· Students will understand the distinction between revising and editing.
Assignment:
For Essay 2, you will summarize and then respond to
one of the readings from this unit (or the video,
College Inc.). In your essay, you will summarize the reading/video and then respond to it by discussing how your own experiences and knowledge have led you to either agree, disagree, or both agree and disagree with the author
and by including the opinions of third parties (i.e., by incorporating secondary sources), which is discussed in more detail below.
Most of the readings can be found in your textbook. However, I also assigned a couple of outside readings and the video,
College, Inc.,
which are posted under Course Content.
In addition to the assigned readings (or the video), you may choose any of the other readings from Chapter 17 in
They Say / I Say. Choose the one that you best understand. Carefully read the example essays that I have posted under Course Content, as they will help you to understand the expectations for the assignment.
Essay 2 is similar to the previous essay, with two additions:
1. Rather than responding to the selected reading/video with your own opinion only, you will add other people’s voices to the conversation by including two secondary sources (i.e., in addition to the selected reading/video). You will use quotes both from the selected reading/video and from your secondary sources to support your assertions.
Your secondary sources can be another reading from this unit. For example, in “Two Years Are Better Than Four,” Liz Addison is responding to Rick Perlstein’s argument in “What’s the Matter with College?” Therefore, you might choose to discuss their opposing views. Instead, you might choose articles you find through one of the library databases, an article in another textbook, a radio show, a podcast, or a video. You are not required to use scholarly sourc.

At the beginning of this week, I felt finding references for my research paper was a little bit difficult. My topic is “women in mass media” and my research question is “Why women are affected by the media the most?” I tried to search articles that were related to my research question through Cypress Library, Gale Literary Sources, and I found two articles from this source. They are “Selling the self: women and the feminine seduction of advertising” of Kristine Blair and “Gender Issues in Advertising Language” of Nancy Artz. In addition, I also did another searching on other resources and found one more article that was “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” of Shelly Grabe. Overall, there was nothing resource that I thought it was the least helpful this week. However, I thought the Gale Literary Sources of Cypress Library was most helpful for me because it provided me two articles. During finding sources, I used keywords, such as “women”, “media effects”, and “advertising”, and I refined my keywords as I went along. Moreover, I also found more keywords, such as “meta-analysis” and “body image”. The database provided the most material for my topic was the result of the experiment in the article “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies”. I did not find sources from credible Internet sources. According to these article, I was able to find specific statistics to add to my essay. My impression overall of my research experience is writing a research paper is not easy and requires the writer to take time and follow the procedure to achieve it.

I had to research on my topic of, the impact of social media on society. I was surprised how difficult it was to actually find some research. Being that this topic is so relevant in this day and age, I thought I would find what I needed much easier. I read online day and night researching different things, but mostly things related to medicine. I am also very used to Google as a go to source, which I am sure is used most by everyone for quick information. I did find a good amount of information on the Pew Research Center which was very helpful. I ended up finding info that supported my points but was surprised to fin ...

It is important to be able to sort through information found in sources and to be critical of the author of that
source. The information below will help you formulate questions about a source and evaluate if it contains
biases.
Assessment Directions:
Use the ITT Tech Virtual Library to access a credible news or journal article about the topic that you have
examined in Module 2. Then, write an analysis that covers these areas:
1. List the title and author of the article in APA format. Provide the URL to the source if possible.
2. Summarize the issue and key points the author uses to persuade the reader to agree with his or her
position. This should be a 5- to 7-sentence summary.
3. Identify the author’s personal or professional background and any affiliations that would affect his
or her thinking. For example, is he or she a Republican or a Democrat? Is he or she affiliated with
the government or a religious institution? Does his or her qualification help or hinder his or her
writing? Where did you find this information?
4. Document your reaction to the author’s viewpoint and his or her arguments. Be sure to cover all the
questions below and support your answer with specifics from the article.
a. Did you find anything the author said that you could agree with?
b. Would you change your mind about any part of the issue based on extenuating circumstances?
c. What most strongly influences your opinions (family, education, ethnicity, political, or religious
affiliation)?
d. Is there any element of stereotyping that might be a part of your response to the author (for
instance, you never agree with a Democrat or a Republican)?
5. Analyze the validity of the author’s position on this topic against these criteria:
a. Did he or she use emotionally charged language?
b. Were the experts or evidence cited by the author current, reliable, and apparently credible?
c. Did the author omit significant evidence or ideas that are contrary to his or her own? Did the
author commit errors in the logic stated?

Phuong Nhat Tran
At the beginning of this week, I felt finding references for my research paper was a little bit difficult. My topic is “women in mass media” and my research question is “Why women are affected by the media the most?” I tried to search articles that were related to my research question through Cypress Library, Gale Literary Sources, and I found two articles from this source. They are “Selling the self: women and the feminine seduction of advertising” of Kristine Blair and “Gender Issues in Advertising Language” of Nancy Artz. In addition, I also did another searching on other resources and found one more article that was “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” of Shelly Grabe. Overall, there was nothing resource that I thought it was the least helpful this week. However, I thought the Gale Literary Sources of Cypress Library was most helpful for me because it provided me two articles. During finding sources, I used keywords, such as “women”, “media effects”, and “advertising”, and I refined my keywords as I went along. Moreover, I also found more keywords, such as “meta-analysis” and “body image”. The database provided the most material for my topic was the result of the experiment in the article “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies”.

EN3220: Module 2 Searching and Evaluating Credible Sources
Analysis 2.1
Summarizing and Analyzing Articles
1
It is important to be able to sort through information found in sources and to be critical of the author of that
source. The information below will help you formulate questions about a source and evaluate if it contains
biases.
Assessment Directions:
Use the ITT Tech Virtual Library to access a credible news or journal article about the topic that you have
examined in Module 2. Then, write an analysis that covers these areas:
1. List the title and author of the article in APA format. Provide the URL to the source if possible.
2. Summarize the issue and key points the author uses to persuade the reader to agree with his or her
position. This should be a 5- to 7-sentence summary.
3. Identify the author’s personal or professional background and any affiliations that would affect his
or her thinking. For example, is he or she a Republican or a Democrat? Is he or she affiliated with
the government or a religious institution? Does his or her qualification help or hinder his or her
writing? Where did you find this information?
4. Document your reaction to the author’s viewpoint and his or her arguments. Be sure to cover all the
questions below and support your answer with specifics from the article.
a. Did you find anything the author said that you could agree with?
b. Would you change your mind about any part of the issue based on extenuating circumstances?
c. What most strongly influences your opinions (family, education, ethnicity, political, or religious
affiliation)?
d. Is there any element of stereotyping that might be a part of your response to the author (for
instance, you never agree with a Democrat or a Republican)?
5. Analyze the validity of the author’s position on this topic against these criteria:
a. Did he or she use emotionally charged language?
b. Were the experts or evidence cited by the author current, reliable, and apparently credible?
c. Did the author omit significant evidence or ideas that are contrary to his or her own? Did the
author commit errors in the logic stated?

The goal is to help users locate high-quality resources in a few steps through an organized and targeted search process.
Writing research title
The document provides guidance on writing a research title. It states that a research title should summarize the main topic and key variables being studied in a concise way. Titles should be around 12-15 words to be effective. Examples of good titles are given, such as "Modern Counseling: Freudian Theory with a New Face" for a study on the influence of psychoanalysis on counseling. Guidelines are given that the title should reflect the general problem or variable being investigated by the research. Sources for topic ideas can come from theories, prior research, and personal experiences. Developing a title requires narrowing a topic to be sufficiently focused and manageable for a research study.
Mastering Your Research
This document outlines a 4-step process for successful research: 1) Getting your assignment by clarifying expectations, 2) Selecting a topic that interests you and has available information, 3) Finding a focus within your topic by exploring angles and debates, and 4) Digging in by finding different types of credible resources like journals, books, and websites with identifiable authors rather than just popular websites.
