So far, you?ve read about how to correctly read and respond to sources. In a short assignment, you?ve located relevant scholarly articles and identified how a professional author cites and effectively responds to other sources. For this next assignment, I want you to present your own viewpoint and defend your position by responding to what others have written.
Process
Read Graff and Birkinstein (Bb) assigned this week (Chapter One, Two, and Three) and review last week?s readings about three ways to respond to sources (Chapter Four and Chapter Five).
Choose a viewpoint from the scholarly article you cited in your Research Assignment #1 last week and either agree, disagree, or both agree and disagree with the view, according to the models outlined in Graff/Birkenstein Chapter Four: Three Ways to Respond.
Assignment
Write a one-page (300 words) response to your scholarly article in which you briefly summarize the article (see Graff/Birkenstein Chapter Two) and identify what you are specifically responding to (use brief, direct quotes to do this ? see Graff/Birkenstein Chapter Three) and whether you agree, disagree, or both agree and disagree.
If you disagree, you need to do more than merely assert that you disagree with a particular view; you also have to give persuasive reasons why you disagree: because an interpretation and/or response fails to take other relevant factors into account; because it is based on faulty or incomplete textual evidence; because it rests on questionable assumptions; or because it uses flawed logic, is contradictory, or overlooks what you take to be the real issue, theme, or intended purpose. To move the conversation forward (which is the point, right?) you need to demonstrate that you have something to contribute.
If you agree, you need to do more than simply echo views you agree with. Even as you are agreeing, you need to bring something new and fresh to the conversation: you might point out some unnoticed textual evidence to further support a viewpoint, you might cite some corroborating personal experience, or explain a situation previously unmentioned. You can further the discussion and contribute simply by pointing out unnoticed implications or explaining something that needs to be better understood.
If you both agree and disagree, explain how you agree up to a point and where your view differs. This is especially instructive for responding to complex or particularly challenging works that you are as yet unsure about. This approach should weigh pros and cons rather than come out decisively either for or against. In this approach, the reasons for your ambivalence need to be made clear.
