Instructions for Analytical Essay: For the analytical essay, you are expected to write one short paper (6-8 pages excluding title page, bibliography, and notes) analysing two of the readings of any one class session. This is not intended to be a summary of the essay. Rather, the essay should place assigned readings in dialogue with each other around a common theme or topic of interest to build linkages. By critically responding to the authors’ arguments, you should also be able to offer your own perspective on the analysis. Some suggested ways of doing this include investigating questions such as, but not limited to: What are the differences and commonalities in the authors’ approaches/ arguments across the selected readings? If there are any distinct differences in points of view, what is your assessment of the basis for these departures (for instance, based on positionality/ individual author perspectives)? How persuasive is each author and how successfully does the author support their argument with evidence? Are there any gaps in the arguments proposed? Do any of these articles evoke important questions/ perspectives that you think deserve consideration? These questions are not all encompassing, and you can choose those or others that seem most relevant in the context of your chosen topic.
Format for Analytical Essay: The short paper must have one-inch margins, use Times New Roman size 12 font, be double-spaced, include a title page, page numbers, and a bibliography using MLA or APA format.
Evaluation Criteria: Rigorous, original critical analysis; cohesion/ organization of ideas; composition (clarity of expression); use of scholarly resources.
