Your assignment is, essentially, a longer, more in-depth version of the module critiques you have been writing. Rather than focusing on the assigned reading, your task with this critique is to find an argument related to your Ethic in my Life Topic and critique that.
Good sources include but are not limited to…
Articles on news outlets
Academic journal articles

General Critique Format
Your Name
Critique of “Title of the Thing Being Critiqued”
Summary (150-300 words) – Begin with a summary of the work. Since you are finding your own sources, tell your reader about that source including why you believe this source is trustworthy.
Restatement of argument (100-200 words) – Just like the module critiques, restate the author’s main point in your own words. This is where you 1) tell the reader what you understood the author(s) to be saying and 2) set up exactly what claim or point you will be critiquing.
Thesis (1-2 sentences) – Begin this section with a clear statement of your assessment. This can be positive, negative, or mixed, but you should be able to convey your main claim in 1-2 sentences.
Context (REQUIRED, 200 words) – Since the topic of this critique should be related to your EIML project topic, you should have some background knowledge. Situate the article in the debate or context of this topic, the author(s), or anything else that you think is relevant to your reader’s understanding of the issue and your position on it.
Argument (400-600 words) – Finally, you will provide your reasoning behind your assessment. Choose 1-2 reasons max and write them in a clear and precise way to convince your reader. I recommend you look at the Your Fallacy IsLinks to an external site. to make sure you are not using any flawed reasoning!
