  12. Journal 6 • College/Career/Scholarship Essay prompts • Choice is important • Choose one you can write about successfully • Look at length – this is more than a page • Needs paragraphs – maybe outline first • Discuss options

  13. Writing Instructions for Article This Article Report – is a discussion of your articles – the subject of the articles is secondary. Your focus is to compare and contrast the two articles and offer an assessment of the two articles. Learning Targets: I can evaluate the use, function, and purpose of articles clearly. I can explain my assessment of information with specifics and using proper documentation.

  14. Writing the Article Report • Introduction – • Introduce the subject, why it is of interest to you • Introduce the two articles by name, source and author. In the Intro you MUST write out full titles. Later, you may shorten them. • Sum up BRIEFLY what was addressed in the two articles. • Example • The two articles I read were both about a stroke. The first article was …. and came from …. The second article was … and came from ….. I wanted to learn more about strokes because my mom had a severe one about five years ago, so I looked for articles that addressed causes and treatments.

  15. Writing the First Body Paragraph • First Body Paragraph • Focus – Similarities in two articles. You should be saying, “In both articles,” a lot. • What information did they both have? • What was in common in terms of how they were written? • Need to come up with at least 3 similarities. • Example • “The two articles on stroke both defined ‘global aphasia.’ The one from the American Heart Association explained what aphasia meant in general terms and how it applied to the brain trauma of a stroke. The other was written by Karen, the stroke victim’s wife, and she focused on the type of aphasia her husband experienced that made it impossible for him to recognize most language, written or verbal. Both articles also explained ways to help people who suffer from aphasia. One of the techniques mentioned by both articles was about labeling things in the house and labeling pictures of familiar people. “ • Need to go on to at least one more comparison.

  16. Writing the Second Body paragraph • 2nd Body Paragraph • Focus is on differences. • You should be saying things like • “In the first article, it says…. while in the second article the focus is more on ….” • The first article is mostly about …. where the second article is more about…” • “The first article has…; however, the other article…” • Use words like - • However, on the other hand, yet, while – to set up a contrast between the two articles. • DO NOT – talk all about one and then all about the other • Goal is to CONTRAST!

  17. 2nd Body • Example • “The first article discussed the different types of ruptures and blockages that can result in a stroke and the different parts of the brain impacted. The second article explained the main cause of the man’s stroke, a blood clot, but then went into how the wife knew her husband was in trouble.” • “The first article was a report by an objective source, the American Heart Association, just the facts, while the second article was a first person, very personal, account of what the couple went through.” • Need to go on to discuss at least 3 differences.

  18. Conclusion • For your conclusion – it will vary a lot based on your topic, articles, your prior knowledge, etc. • Goal in the conclusion is to share your thoughts on the articles – to show your critical thinking – and to offer some assessment of the articles in light of what you found or did not find. • To the right are some suggestions – discuss the ones that apply as a way of closing your report. • Which article was more useful and why? • If you were to continue to research the topic, what more would you like to know? • What had you hoped to find in the 2 articles that you did not? • How did what was presented fit with your own prior knowledge? • What conclusions can you come to based on your topic and these 2 articles? • If someone else wanted to research this same topic, which article or both or neither would you recommend?
