Essay Prompt:<\/div>\n
Write an argumentative essay on the following topic: Does the Internet encourage a form of<\/div>\n
thinking that is superior to, inferior to, or simply different from that offered by print books? In<\/div>\n
other words, if the next generation shifts completely from print books to digital devices and<\/div>\n
applications, will this be a cognitive improvement, a decline, or something that is neither better<\/div>\n
nor worse? In addition to rigorous logic and clear writing, an excellent paper will use sources to<\/div>\n
make its claims more sophisticated and persuasive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maryanne Wolf\u2019s Reader, Come Home must be used as a significant source in the paper. You<\/div>\n
can use Wolf to support your argument, or you can use her as a counterargument that you<\/div>\n
criticize. In addition to Wolf, the paper must use at least two sources from Edge.org (you may<\/div>\n
choose from the ones I selected or dig deeper to find others from the website). Other sources<\/div>\n
may also be used to make your argument more persuasive and sophisticated. The sources and<\/div>\n
your own ideas should be woven together in way so that the paper\u2019s argument does not feel like<\/div>\n
just a summary of Wolf\u2019s ideas.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Paper Requirements:<\/div>\n
__The paper must reach the top of page 5, not including the Works Cited.<\/div>\n
__The paper should be double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font.<\/div>\n
__There must be at least one counter-argument paragraph in which you present and criticize an<\/div>\n
opposing viewpoint.<\/div>\n
__Maryanne Wolf\u2019s book and two sources from Edge.org must be used and included in the<\/div>\n
Works Cited.<\/div>\n
__Sources must have correct MLA in-text citations and be included in a properly formatted<\/div>\n
Works Cited at the end.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Grading:<\/div>\n
The paper\u2019s grade will be based on the quality of 4 criteria:<\/div>\n
1) Organization: Is the paper effectively organized into unified paragraphs with good topic<\/div>\n
sentences. Does the paper flow in a logical manner with minimal repetition?<\/div>\n
2) Argument: Does each paragraph offer a smart argument that is thoroughly argued and<\/div>\n
carefully reasoned?<\/div>\n
3) Research: Does the argument rely on Wolf\u2019s book and other sources to make its claims<\/div>\n
more insightful, precise, and persuasive?<\/div>\n
4) Grammar\/Style: Is the paper largely free of grammar errors? Does the writing style<\/div>\n
enhance the clarity and readability of the argument?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Avoid Plagiarism:<\/div>\n
Any plagiarism or academic dishonesty will result in an automatic \u20180\u2019 for the assignment and<\/div>\n
absolutely no chance for a rewrite. Any use of A.I. programs at any stage in the drafting process<\/div>\n
will also result in an automatic \u20180\u2019 for the assignment as well as a referral to Student Judicial<\/div>\n
Affairs. If caught in either form of academic dishonesty, the student will also not receive any<\/div>\n
feedback on any rough drafts for the rest of the semester.<\/div>\n
