I CHOSE THE ARTICLE "HOW JUNK FOOD CAN END OBESITY" BY DAVID H. FREEMAN
Task: Complete your 3-5-page essay in which you have analyzed your chosen article.
Revise it focusing on both MUGS (Mechanics, Usage, Grammar, and Spelling), as well as the material covered in Chapter 8.4: Revising and Editing.
Make sure that you have an introduction and thesis (perhaps a revised thesis).
Each of the body paragraphs should be devoted to a single argument with 2-3 pieces of supporting evidence/quotes.
Write a conclusion which summarizes your argument and reminds your reader of your thesis statement.
Check the More About the Rhetorical Analysis Essay Assignment page to make sure you've addressed the points there.
You MUST have a Works Cited page listing the essay that you are quoting from in order to avoid plagiarism. The Works Cited page is notconsidered one of the pages of your required text and must be at the end of the paper, not in a separate file.
Make sure to leave time to run it by Free Tutoring for feedback - this step is likely to improve your grade.
Submit your final paper in Turnitin, OR in the assignment dropbox, according to your instructor's preference. Should you use Turnitin, make sure to take a screenshot of the confirmation screen once you upload your paper.
