First, you should re-read your selected article and jot down any new ideas or reactions you have to the reading. Then open up the Word document that you submitted for the Writing Plan. (You can return to 5-1 to download another version of the document.) Look over your instructor's comments and consider how you could have improved your answers to any of the questions. Also think about how your answers might change now that you have had some time to step away from the reading.

CONSTRUCTING ASSIGNMENT 2, MILESTONE 1
Answer the following questions to help you construct a draft of your Critical Analysis essay. Follow the instructions at the bottom of the page to download all of your responses to a single Word document that you will proofread and format before submitting to your instructor.

Enter your responses into the textboxes provided and then click "Submit." Your responses will be saved to the Notebook, which can be found under the "Course Tools" menu. This assignment is a large part of the writing that you will perform in this course, so allow yourself plenty of time to complete this section, and fill out each textbox carefully.

The next activity uses a rich text area. You can tab to the editor body. Press ALT-F10 to get to the toolbar. Press ESC to return to the editor body. A save button is available in the top toolbar all the way to the right and will become visible when it receives focus.

1. After re-reading your selected article, write a 3-4 sentence overview of the work, briefly describing main points and your thoughts about the writing. Include the author's name and title of the article in this overview. These sentences will be part of your Introduction.

2. In Assignment 1: Writing Plan, you wrote a claim* to be addressed in your analysis essay. The claim should again clearly state what you believe is the author's goal in his or her article, your reaction to this goal (e.g., do you agree or disagree?), and why you had this reaction. After re-reading and re-evaluating the article, do you want to change your claim? If so, re-write your claim in the textbox below. If you are still happy with your original claim, enter it again in the textbox.
