Evidence evaluation

Based on the articles about foreign language requirements

• Read each article carefully.
• Identify the thesis of each one and the main points used to prove that claim. (5 points)
  • Put brackets around the thesis [ ].
  • Underline the main points.
• Analyze and evaluate the specific information given to support those main ideas using the key terms: relevant, sufficient, representative. Refer to the handout “Assessing Evidence” on Canvas (under Modules/Literature Review)
  • Write up your findings in a few paragraphs to be turned in with the marked reading. (15 points)
• Be prepared for a quick quiz and class discussion. (5 points}

The assignment is worth 25 points (a significant part of the “other” category that makes up 5% of your grade.)

This type of evaluation will be required in the final draft of your paper.
