Carr and Thompson together make up a &#8220;set,&#8221; etc.).\u00a0 Your essay should include summaries of both of the authors\u2019 arguments (\u201cthey say\u201d); your argument should point out how the authors agree and disagree; and your argument should include your own response to the issues the two essays raise (\u201cI say\u201d).\u00a0 The \u201cI say\u201d is your own argument concerning the issues.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you include a naysayer to show possible objections to your own argument, and address the \u201cso what\u201d factor: why does this issue matter?<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you use proper formatting (MLA or APA style, double-spaced, Times or Times New Roman font, 12 point, paragraphs indented).<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have a proper heading at the top of the first page (name, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Your paper should be about 4 pages.<\/li>\n<li>Plagiarism will not be tolerated.<\/li>\n<li>I recommend you take a look at the\u00a0<strong>Grading Guide<\/strong>\u00a0(below), which explains how I will grade your papers.<\/li>\n<li>MWP 2 is\u00a0<ins><strong>due Friday, January 12, by 11:59pm<\/strong><\/ins>.\u00a0 Click the link below to submit your paper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><ins>Recommended structure<\/ins>: \u00a0For this paper you have four pages to work with and you need to include, in effect, five major parts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduction: includes basic information about authors, a very brief summary of authors\u2019 ideas (a sentence or two), a brief statement of your argument (or thesis statement), and a brief explanation of why your argument matters<\/li>\n<li>Summary of 2 authors, with quotes as evidence<\/li>\n<li>Summary of how they agree\/disagree; provide quotes if necessary<\/li>\n<li>Your own opinion and your reasons for your opinion (which includes\u00a0at least one\u00a0naysayer); provide quotes as evidence<\/li>\n<li>Conclusion:\u00a0 includes a return sentence, a restatement of your argument, and a developed explanation of why your argument matters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note that those are five parts, not paragraphs (exceptions: the introduction and the conclusion are usually one paragraph each).\u00a0 What could this look like?\u00a0 Here&#8217;s an example:\u00a0 After the brief introductory paragraph (where you introduce your topic, basic information about your authors with brief summaries of authors\u2019 ideas, a sense of your argument and perhaps why your argument matters), you might have a summary of one author (1 paragraph), then a summary of the second author (1 paragraph).\u00a0 Then you might have one paragraph that explains how they agree or disagree (though you can already allude to that in the summary paragraphs through phrases like &#8220;Unlike Turkle, Wortham asserts that&#8230;&#8221;). \u00a0Note that the paragraph that explains how the two authors agree or disagree is still &#8220;they say,&#8221; since you&#8217;re not yet putting forward your own opinion on the issues.\u00a0 At that point you&#8217;ll have written about 2 pages.\u00a0 Then you write your own argument (&#8220;I say&#8221;) in relation to what they say (about a page and a half). \u00a0At that point you&#8217;ve written about 3.5 pages.\u00a0 Then you end with one short concluding paragraph, where you wrap it up with a return sentence and again explain why it matters.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind: this way of structuring this assignment is only a suggestion; it doesn&#8217;t have to be exactly like that.\u00a0 But hopefully this gives you an idea of what this kind of paper could look like.<\/p>\n<p><ins><strong>Sets<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>Set 1:<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Kelly, \u201cBetter than Human: Why Robots Will \u2013 and Must \u2013 Take Our Jobs\u201d (299)<\/p>\n<p>Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld, \u201cThe Influencing Machines\u201d (330)<\/p>\n<p>Set 2:<\/p>\n<p>Nicholas Carr, \u201cIs Google Making Us Stupid?\u201d (313)<\/p>\n<p>Clive Thompson, \u201cSmarter than You Think:\u00a0 How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better\u201d (340)<\/p>\n<p>Set 3:<\/p>\n<p>Sherry Turkle, \u201cNo Need to Call\u201d (373)<\/p>\n<p>Jenna Wortham, \u201cI Had a Nice Time with You Tonight.\u00a0 On the App.\u201d (393)<\/p>\n<p>Set 4:<\/p>\n<p>Michaela Cullington, \u201cDoes Texting Affect Writing?\u201d (361)<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Gladwell, \u201cSmall Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted\u201d (399)<\/p>\n<p>Grading Guide: I will use the following grading guide to grade your papers.\u00a0 Think of it as a &#8220;cheat sheet,&#8221;
