COM 126 Final Project Part One Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The purpose of this milestone is help you organize your resources for support of your final project. Whereas in the previous Resource List activity you were simply gathering resources, for this assignment you will be reading each one of these resources and summarizing the content. This is the next step in preparing your final project justification paper and gathering quotes and usable information for your final presentation.
Prompt: Use the analysis worksheet and fill out each of the boxes in each table. You must complete this activity for at least five resources, but feel free to include more as necessary for your final project. Be sure to include the following critical elements:
· Cite the source in APA style.
· What is the author’s main point? Summarize it in one to three sentences.
· How does this resource support your final project?
· Are there any quotes you would like to use within your final project? Include them in your worksheet. Remember, you need two to four quotes in your final justification paper and presentation.
Guidelines for Submission: Submit your filled-out analysis worksheet as a Word document. Be sure to include your name within the document and the document name (e.g., “LastName_COM126_Analysis_Worksheet.docx”).
