Essay Assignment #1: Critical Analysis Essay
PURPOSE
Much of our ability to write well depends on our ability to analyze our own writing, and this is a very difficult task. In order to determine what does and does not work in a text, we must be able to read critically, a skill that comes from our ability to analyze another person’s work. The same criteria upon which we judge a text also determines the value of our own work. We must, therefore, become skilled at judging written texts. That is why this assignment asks you to practice your ability to recognize and judge the writing of another person’s work.
————————————————————————————————————————————–
ESSAY ASSIGNMENT Using one of the four articles assigned for Essay #1 (see the “Readings for Essay Assignment #1” just below this document), write an essay that explains your answer to the following question:
Do the author’s rhetorical tools make the article stronger or weaker?1
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS 1] Article Quotations: In order to practice incorporating source material, you must include a minimum of three (3) quotations from the article you have chosen to analyze. 2] Outside Source #1: You must include a minimum of one (1) quotation from an article that mentions something about the article’s subject (this cannot come from the article that you are analyzing). 3] Outside Source #2: You must include a minimum of one (1) quotation from something that discusses a rhetorical tool or rhetorical tools (this cannot come from either of the web sources listed in my footnote below). LENGTH REQUIREMENTS 1] Outline: The essay must be typed, double-spaced, and must meet the minimum outline discussed in the class lectures, which includes the Multi-Paragraph Introduction and the Opposition/Response Paragraph that are also discussed in the class lectures. 2] Length: The essay must be a minimum of 900 words in 12-Point font (not including the cover page or the References page). Expect it, therefore, to be roughly 3 pages long as a minimum.
FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
1] Format: Your paper must be submitted in the APA format, which you can find in the APA Style guide found on the Purdue Owl website (search online for “Purdue Owl APA” to find this material) ** Do not include an abstract ** 2] Citations: When quoting from your sources (the article and any outside reference sources that you use), you must provide APA parenthetical in-text citations. Use the relevant section in the APA Style guide found on the Purdue Owl website. 3] References Page: You must include an APA References page (it must include every text that you cite). Use the relevant section in the APA Style guide found on the Purdue Owl website.
4] Indenting: Essays must have the first line of every paragraph indented.
1 You may NOT discuss the article’s Title, and here are two good sources for types of rhetorical strategies:
https://hhs-english-iv.wikispaces.com/file/view/Rhetorical+Devices.pdf & http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-rhetorical-devices.html
IMPORTANT ADVICE
Remember, your analysis is not about whether or not you agree with the author; do not get trapped into a discussion of the author’s subject! Your analysis is about the rhetorical tools that the author has used, and whether they make the article stronger or weaker, which means you must focus on the components of the writing. AUDIENCE Assume that you are writing this essay for readers who will disagree with your position; it is your job to convince them you are right. LANGUAGE 1] When generalizing, it is very easy to accidentally make a singular-to-plural pronoun shift; remember, one person should not be a “they.” 2] Also, authors should never be referred to by their first names unless you actually know them; use their full names or their last names.
3] Lastly, when discussing what an author wrote, use the past tense.
———————————————————————————————————————— SUBMISSION DATES
Thursday, Feb. 16: Rough Draft is due by 11:55 p.m.
You must submit one double-spaced copy of your draft, and your draft must include the Introduction, Point #1, Point #2, and Opposition/Response paragraphs if you wish to participate in the Peer Evaluation Exercise (please label them so I know which one each paragraph is). If you do not have all four of these paragraphs, then I will not let you participate in the peer process.

Flight Diverted Over ‘Middle-Seat Rage’ After Angry Passenger’s Alleged Rant
“Do you know how cool it would be to have the airplane turned around because of me?”

Ed Mazza Overnight Editor, The Huffington Post
A U.S.-bound flight from Australia was diverted to New Zealand on Sunday over a passenger who was allegedly unhappy about his middle seat.
The New Zealand Herald reported that the passenger, who was not identified, became angry when two travelers of either Indian or Pakistani descent seated on either side of him began speaking to each other.
Video posted on social media showed him arguing with a flight attendant on United Airlines Flight 870, which was scheduled to travel from Sydney to San Francisco.
“If you guys treat people right on these things, you see two last names the same, don’t put someone else in the middle of them,” the passenger said in a clip posted by another traveler, Neil Kay.
Kay wrote that the irate passenger was a “misogynistic, homophobic bigot” who harassed passengers and threatened the cabin crew.
“I’m not yelling,” the man said at another point in the clip. “You want to hear me fucking yell?”
It was not clear what the flight attendant said in reply, but it appears she told him that the aircraft could be diverted to have him removed.
“Do you know how cool it would be to have the airplane turned around because of me? You are going to do that?” he said as she walked away. “You do that! I’m being so impolite aren’t I, fat ass.”
One clip posted by Kay showed the passenger cursing into a phone while another saw him being escorted off the flight in Auckland without further incident. Stuff.co.nz reported that the removed passenger was told to cooperate or face charges.
The passenger, an American, was denied entry into New Zealand and held in custody while arrangements were made to send him home, per New Zealand’s 1NEWS. The other 252 travelers on Flight 870 were put up in hotels by the airline, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The website said the airline also apologized to the passengers.
If images posted by Kay were any indication, at least some of the passengers bonded over the experience as they waited for their new flight:

[order_calculator]Choose one topic that interests you from the following five topics:
? Measuring development
? Using randomized trials in development
? Health
? Education
? Microfinance
1. Write an essay on your chosen topic. The essay should identify a problem and a possible underlying cause. (Examples of problems: why do poor people have poor nutrition? Why are education services underutilized? Why do credit institutions not serve the poor, or charge such high interest rates when they do?). You can be more specific focusing on a particular developing country or region.
2. The structure of your essay should include:
1. Introduction
Describe broadly the problem, the setting, the main theories on your chosen problem, highlight your proposal
2. Literature Review
Short review the theoretical and empirical literature
3. Potential solution
In light of the literature review, discuss some potential solutions to the problem you chosen. More on this in points 3, 4 and 5 below.
Feel free to be creative. If you think that solutions so far proposed/tested in the literature do not work, then propose your own policy and describe why you think could be implemented, tested and why it might yield better results than current policies.
4. Conclusion
Tell us what we have learned from the problem you have researched on.
3. Discuss at least three possible programmes or policies that could mitigate the problem you have chosen by affecting the channel you identified.
4. Choose the program you have thought of that sounds most promising to you, and describe it in some detail. Explain clearly why you think it meets a potential need and how it could lead to improvement in the lives of the poor. Describe, how would you implement it? Who would be the target population? How would you encourage take-up of the program? What do you expect the effect to be?
5. Describe how you would evaluate the program. Would you use a randomized evaluation or some other technique? Who would comprise the treatment and control groups? At what level would you randomize or assign treatment? What data would you collect? What are the relevant outcome variables?
6. For your references include at least three papers on your chosen topic. These three papers must be different to the ones included in the syllabus’ compulsory reading list (those marked with an *).
7. The essay should be roughly of 1,500 words (excluding references, footnotes and appendices).
