Happiness and Immigration Determining the Level of Happiness of Immigrants HW PART ONE: Argument Analysis Worksheet
The Argument Analysis Worksheet is a fillable PDF designed to help us organize and analyze our source information and thoughts for Essay Four. It will also serve as pre-writing for the outline due next Sunday.
Organizing information is one way to think through information, so it’s an effective critical activity that can help us see more deeply into the matters we’re writing about.
Simply reading information multiple times gets our brains working on “the problem.”
The process of selecting information to include helps us question and clarify what’s most relevant and important.
The process of placing information on a page helps us examine and establish the relationships between ideas.
Once completed, the Argument Analysis “storyboard” can be studied and analyzed. Ideas that have migrated from their original contexts onto your storyboard, will start to speak to each other, sometimes in unanticipated ways. This is where analysis evolves into synthesis or the creation of new ideas.
INSTRUCTIONS
Download the fillable PDF, above, complete it, and submit it here with your quick-write and Works Cited page.
If you’d prefer to complete the information on another kind of document, that’s okay. Please number and group the information as it’s numbered and grouped on the attachment, so it’s easy for me and your peer reviewer to follow along.
