Even for the analysis section, youwill report what you see not assert whether you agree or not. You will use ID tags and signal verbs in virtually every sentence of your summaries. You will rely on paraphrasing, primarily.

Additionally, you will analyze how the authors use certainmoves common to academic writing.Audience: Your audience for this essay will be concerned, interested, yet uninformed citizens who arelooking to you to provide an unbiased, accurate representation of the voices in this debate.Format: Format your essay in MLA styleStructure:First paragraph:o You need to begin in a way that introduces your readers to the conversation. You don’twant to begin with the first summary. Instead, you want to briefly introduce the issueand the two voices that are taking part in the conversation.o Explain for your readers the basics of this conversation and offer a sense of why thisconversation is important.o For example, you may want to begin by telling your audience who this controversyaffects, how the outcome of the controversy may affect them, and why this controversyis important—answer the questions “Who cares?” and “So what?”o To briefly introduce the varying positions within the conversation, give readers a verybrief glimpse into what each of the authors says. This will help you briefly introduce thedebate for your readers before you dive into the summaries.

Brody argues that smartphones ______. In contrast, Carr contendsthat smartphones ______. Sherry Turkle agrees with much of Carr’s position, butshe adds that ______. Agustin Fuentes, on the other hand, focuses on ______and argues that ______.Body paragraphs:o CABIN SUMMARIES: This is where you will compose a CABIN (comprehensive, accurate, brief,independent, and neutral) summary of each article, one after the other. Use one paragraph per summary, for this essay. Make sure you use ID Tags throughout, carefully selecting the most accuratesignal verbs for what the authors are doing. Use transitions to capture the flow of the authors’ ideas. After the first summary, you will need to transition to the 2nd summary and attimes, as part of the 2nd summary, mention how the 2nd author’s ideas compareor contrast with the 1st author’s ideas. You can do this simply by saying, “WhereFeyten argues X, Reeves argues Y” and so on. You can find a number of helpfultemplates in the “Index of Templates” link in the Essay 3 Assignment Sheetfolder.o ANALYSIS of WRITING MOVES the authors make: After your two summaries, you will identify writing moves that the authorsmake. Which moves? In the Essay 3 folder in Brightspace, you will find four chaptersfrom our book They Say / I Say. Each chapter discusses different moves writersmake in academic writing, and the They Say / I Say authors give readers varioustemplates they can use to make those moves. Your job is to compose one paragraph in which you identify three differentmoves Lehman makes. You need to identify the move and where you read about that move(again, you will find these moves in the They Say / I Say chapters in theEssay 3 folder), like this:o In Chapter 3 of They Say / I Say, Graff and Birkenstein discusswhat they call the Quotation Sandwich move—which means… You will then quote Feyten to show that Feyten did use that move. Do this for two more and different moves. Then do the same for Reeves in a separate paragraph. This means your essay should have five paragraphs: intro, two summaries, twoanalyses.o For each of these analysis paragraphs, have a topic sentence that begins the paragraph.Offer your three academic moves and quotations. Use transitions to create coherencebetween your sentences. Remember: you aren’t judging how well the writer uses themoves; you are simply showing that they used the moves.Concluding paragraph:o There is no need for a concluding paragraph since you are not drawing any conclusionsand your introduction will say all you need to say about the significance of the issue
