This semester, you are assigned five (5) community summary/analysis papers due on various dates. Choose one (1) from each group. Each paper is to be no more than two pages in length. You are to summarize each reading; then you are to analyze/evaluate each as an argument/persuasion. Is the author successful in developing the article? What strengths and weaknesses do you find in each (you may not find both)? Did you enjoy the reading (yes/no) and why. What one “thing” did you especially learn from it?

You must do the following with each summary/analysis:

1. Produce one paper from each community.

2. Include all pertinent information in the upper left-hand area. Name is Community #?

3. Create a title for the summary/analysis. If the essay title is included, make sure it is placed in quotation marks.

4. In the first sentence, you must include the essay title (in quotation marks), even if is used as part of the title, and the full name of the author.
