follow the instruction in the attached file.

we have one reading assignment "Location-based Social Media" by Evans Leighton and Michael Saker. Based on this reading assignment, you should write your third C.I--this is a very interesting piece and will give us a lot of ideas to discuss and reflect on. These ideas can inform our future social interventions by using social media outlets.

a. After reading chapter 4 called "Identity", you should select a quote that you find meaningful (please, select a quote not an entire page--it will be easier for you to focus your argument as well).

c. Your C.I should be argumentative.  Therefore, a thesis statement must be included. Ask yourselves; Why is this chapter important in order for me to understand how identity is shaped by social media? How can I connect this reading with civic engagement? Can we use social media in order to promote social change? Is that effective? What specific changes can I implement through the use of media outlets? 

d. Your critical inquiry (C.I) should include 4 pages (as you already know; page 1 should include the selected quote and the questions you intend to answer in your C.I., page 2 and 3 should include your argument and developing ideas that support your argument, and page 4 should include your Works Cited page using MLA style)

e. Please, avoid plagiarism. If you are going to incorporate someone else's ideas in your text, see how you should use MLA to in-text cite. Also, provide your reader with an analysis of the in-text citation and how it relates to your main argument. 

f. You should follow MLA style and include a scholarly and a popular source to support your argument (Our reading materials do not count as part of your sources. You can use them in your analysis and in-text cite them but you should find another scholarly source and a popular one.) At this point in the semester, you should understand the basics of how to use MLA. Your grade is also contingent on the appropriate use of MLA as well as spelling and grammar.
