Summary-Response Assignment:
For this assignment you will go to the Hawkeye library site to select a peer-reviewed academic essay from the library’s online databases and write an analysis of it. The article can be about any issue you like, although it can be convenient if it’s about an issue you may want to write a longer research paper about. You will provide a brief summary of the work and then give your own interpretation of it. This interpretation will include an examination of the content, techniques, and form used by the work’s author as well as your own response to the work’s message (agreement or disagreement). 
Length and formatting:
Minimum 3 double-spaced pages in a 12-point a standard serif font such as Times New Roman or Cambria. The paper will also include a work’s cited page in MLA format. The works cited page does not count to the paper’s length. 
Tips and Suggestions:
– The summary portion of the paper should give across a thorough but concise explanation of the article. It should not take up more than 30% of the paper.
– Pick an article that’s approximately 3-7 pages long. You want to make sure you have enough material to drive your discussion.
– Look for anything that your writer does that stands out as being either impressive or flawed – those are the kinds of things your response should focus on.
– Your analysis can include your own thoughts on the subject or the way the author describes it, as well as any questions or observations that occur to you during your reading.
– Other tactics for response discussing your personal reaction to both the article itself and the subject it covers.
– Don’t forget to specifically name your article in the paper. The reader doesn’t know what “this article” is. 
– In general, it should always be clear when you’re directly referencing your source versus when you’re discussing your own thoughts.
– Remember that direct quotes and information taken directly from your article need to be properly cited in MLA format; failing to do so can be considered a form of plagiarism.
The final copy is due by the end of the day on the date listed on Canvas.
Structure of the Paper
Introduction
First sentence introduces the article’s title and author.
You can give context for the article if it is necessary to understanding the article (historical, social, or cultural background information).
You might also establish the author’s credibility by giving some information about them.
If there is no background information to give, the summary of the article can be placed in the introduction.
The last sentence of your essay states the thesis (the point you want to make about the article). 
Summary
Summarize the article in 1-2 paragraphs.
Summaries are objective. You do not indicate what you think about the article or the subject in the summary.
It needs to include just the key points 
Body
There are three ways to respond to this paper: 
1)     respond to what the author is saying—examine the author’s argument 
2)     respond to how the author says it—look at the author’s language and tone 
3)     respond personally to what the author is saying. You aren’t arguing your views on the topic and what you think about it; you are responding just to what the author is saying in the article.
A fourth way to respond is to combine all three ways in your paper: discuss the content, the language, and then respond personally to what the author is saying. 
Support what you are saying (provide evidence) for the points you make. You do this by directly quoting, summarizing, and paraphrasing from the article. 
When you use information from the article, you need to use quotation marks when directly quoting and signal phrases to identify it as the author’s words.
Be careful that you aren’t just summarizing the article. Your summary should be 1-2 paragraphs. The remainder of the paper should be your response with one final paragraph to conclude.
Conclusion
Your conclusion needs to sum up your response. Be careful that you are not focusing on the issue but on your response.
Do not begin your conclusion with “In conclusion.” You will lose points for this. This is an unnecessary, repetitious, and overly used announcement. In short essays (under 10 pages) like we will be writing in this class, your conclusion will not exceed 1-2 paragraphs, so it is unnecessary to announce where the conclusion begins. It also disrupts the flow of your paper. The only time you would announce the conclusion is if the paper is multiple paragraphs or pages, and it isn’t clear where the conclusion begins or if you are giving a speech.
MLA Style
Remember that direct quotes and the summarizing/paraphrasing of information taken directly from the article also need to be properly cited in MLA format; failing to do so can be considered a form of plagiarism. 
Use the stylebook that is included in the Norton textbook for MLA style.
If you are unfamiliar with the MLA process or uncertain about it, I am linking some YouTube videos Kirkwood posted. These are very short but do a great job of explaining MLA style.

Craft a Textual-analysis based paper that addresses the following two questions: 
1) What is historical consciousness and how do its principles best translate into narrative?
2) how are such narratives shaped by time and space, structure and process? 
In your response, you may want to draw from Gaddis’ use of metaphors related to landscape, visual representation, and/or Cartography.
Remember you goal is to illuminate and clarify Gaddis’ claims across the three chapters, and NOT TO PROVIDE YOUR OWN OPINIONS OF THEM. 
Requirements: 
You are required to work closely and thoroughly with material from all three chapters:
Chapter One: “The Landscape Of History”
Chapter Two: “Time and Space”
Chapter Three: “Structure and Process”
Be sure not only to quote directly from each chapter, but to additionally provide both context and analysis of the passages you’re working with. 
Organization: 
A successful paper will not only address the two questions from the prompt, but will do so in a well-framed, clearly organized response.
Do not attempt to write a “five-paragraph theme” essay. Instead, your particular mode of explanation should determine your paper’s best structure.
Working with the text text strictly according to chronologically is unlikely to be the best strategy. 
Further guidelines: 
Always discuss, analyze, and make arguments in the present tense. In terms of writing style, aim for clarity, brevity, and depth.
Cite each quoted passage from Gaddis’ book by including the page number, as in the following example: “The historian has got to strike a balance, and that means recognizing a trade-off between literal and abstract representation.”
Do not draw from any outside examples or refer to any outside texts. I any of the ideas or language are determined to come from and outside source, this will be considered plagiarism.

Given your readings this week, what are your thoughts on House Bill H.R.5, the Equality Act, and its proposed federal mandates regarding gender identity? Specifically, what are your thoughts on items such as:
The bill prohibits an individual from being denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room, and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual’s gender identity.
The bill prohibits the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 from providing a claim, defense, or basis for challenging such protections.
