Sources: Gladstone’s
The Influencing Machine plus one other source she mentions in the “Sources” section, which begins on page 169. You’re not expected to read an entire book, but this may take reading a chapter or an essay. Find your source by starting with a search, then the internet.
Your Task: Assess the
degree to which Gladstone uses an outside source accurately and effectively:
1. Apply the
Elements and Standards of critical thinking; use the numbers of each designated below on the original source and on Gladstone’s text.
2. Some specific elements and standards are listed below that everyone will need to use.
3. Your
thesis statement should say whether Gladstone’s use of this source reflects solid critical thinking.
Paper Outline:
·
Introduction: context
· In one or two paragraphs, provide an overview of this topic. Talk about the larger
purpose of the chapter in which Gladstone uses the source you’ve chosen to find and tell her
purpose for quoting this particular source in this particular chapter. End with your thesis statement about whether the way she uses the source reflects solid critical thinking.
·
Body: Analysis and Evaluation: Address the following
in bullet-point form (You don’t ‘have to write in paragraphs):
· Your understanding of the
original source of the quote:
1.
Elements + Standards: Analyze and evaluate the original source by using
four elements other than context and at least three standards. Apply the standards directly to the elements (so important conclusion, clear concept, etc.). You can do an element plus standard per bullet point; make sure you point to and cite quotes and paraphrases from the original source.
1. Additional Element: What is the
context for this quote in the original source?
· Your understanding of
Gladstone’s usage of this source or quote:
2.
Elements + Standards: Analyze and evaluate how much critical thinking went into Gladstone’s usage of the original source by using
four elements other than purpose and at least three standards. Apply the standards directly to the elements (so important conclusion, clear concept, etc.). You can do an element plus standard per bullet point; make sure you point to and cite quotes and paraphrases from the original source.
· Use
boldface type each time you address an Element or Standard
·
Conclusion and Reflection:
· Next, answer these questions: What did you learn about
your own critical thinking and reading when you tracked down and analyzed the primary source and reconsidered Gladstone’s use of it? Did any impediments to critical thinking come into play when you were first reading the chapter from
The Influencing Machine where your example is found?
· I will add to this section…
Sources: You should quote and cite (on a Works Cited page) Gladstone and the original source; the information and concepts presented in Nosich can be treated as common knowledge and don’t, therefore, need to be cited unless you actually paraphrase or quote.
