3/ Using this outline and following it for paper.

I. Introduction

a. Identify the work being criticized.

b. Present thesis – argument about the work.

c. Preview your argument – what are the steps you will take to prove your argument.

II. Summary/Evaluation of the work

a. Does not need to be comprehensive – present only what the reader needs to know to understand your argument.

b. Where does the argument go wrong?

III. Your argument

a. Your argument will likely involve a number of sub-arguments –mini-theses you prove to prove your larger argument true. For example, if your thesis was that the author’s presumption that the world will soon face a “clash of civilizations” is flawed because he inadequately specifies his key concept, civilizations, you might prove this by:

i. Noting competing definitions of civilizations

ii. Identifying how his examples do not meet the example of civilizations

iii. Argue that civilization is so broad and non-specific that it is not useful.

b. This should be the bulk of the paper – I want to read your argument about the work, not a summary.

IV. Conclusion

a. Reflect on how you have proven your argument.

b. Point out the importance of your argument.

c. Note potential avenues for additional research or analysis.
