Write on the Pygmalion myth. Choose at least two readings (any Pygmalion story from the Miles book, Shaw, or Lerner) to focus on. You may include criticism from the movie My Fair Lady, but you still need two readings and were you to include the movie, the focus would weigh heavier toward the readings.

Some ideas: Consider themes, narrative voice, characterization, setting, plot, structure, language, and literary devices. If stuck for questions, re-look at the Writing about Fiction PDF on the Moodle.
State an explicit thesis in your first paragraph.

Author interviews from the Paris Review or articles/essays from The New Yorker, Times Literary Supplement, London Review of Books, and the New York Review of Books also count. If considering a publication not found in or through the sources listed above, run the publication by me first. For example, The New York Times does not count for this paper.
Do not include material from Wikipedia, shmoop, or gradesaver.
You may include scholarly references, such as the Oxford English Dictionary, but in this instance, such a reference does not count toward one to three scholarly resources.

Notes: Prior to writing, look over past papers for comments. Feel free to run questions by me well in advance. And as it is noted on the syllabus, you may run a draft of the first page of the paper by me no later than two classes before the paper is due.
Look at the Information Literacy Value Rubric (this is attached to the syllabus) and aim for the Capstone grade for each item.

As you will learn throughout the semester, controversy surrounds many environmental issues. By studying the controversy from different sources and viewpoints, you are better able to understand the issue. Also, critical analysis is particularly important when reading about environmental issues because there are such strong viewpoints on both sides of the issue. Therefore, it is important to question what you read because there may be a hidden agenda behind it, it may be purely emotional, or it may just be entirely false. Being able to evaluate critically what you read is a necessary skill that will help you succeed in life. For additional help refer to the Learning to Learn Chapter in your textbook.
Since the purpose of this assignment is to help you learn how to evaluate the reliability of information that you read, you will be responsible for compiling an environmental portfolio containing a total of three current articles according to the following information:
1. You may choose any topic related to the natural environment other than global climate change, but the connection to this class must be clear.
2. All three articles MUST be on the same general topic; however, they can take different stands/viewpoints on the issue.
3. One article must be from a scholarly academic journal, one must be a legitimate website such as .gov, .edu, or .org, and one must be from a leading newspaper or magazine.
4. All articles must have been published after January 2012.
5. You cannot evaluate a book review, a letter to the editor, press release, abstract, Q & A, or an editorial.
6. You must include a copy of the article in your portfolio clearly identifying the author, date, and name of source.
For each article, you will write a two page typed critical review focusing most of your attention to the evaluation of the article. Each review MUST contain the following:
1. Label section scholarly journal, legitimate website, or leading newspaper/magazine.
2. List the title of article, the author, the source it was in, URL (if applicable), and the date it was published. (2 points)
3. Qualifications of the author What are the qualifications of the author? Was this author qualified to write on this topic? Why or why not? If no information is available, what do you think based on the article and your critical judgment? (2 points)
4. A brief summary the article What is the question the author is addressing? What are the key points of the article? What are the conclusions of the article? (4 points)
5. Evaluation of the article How strong is the authors argument? Give specific examples of sources of information such as references used, experts quoted, or agencies or professional organizations included. What data is used to support these points? Did the author take for granted any information? Are the arguments well supported? If solutions were proposed, are they feasible? Why or why not? Was anything important left out of the article? What is the tone of the article? How does this tone affect, or intended to affect, the readers of the article? Does the author use broad generalizations or does the author provide a well-reasoned analysis? Is the author biased? If so, how? What is your overall analysis of the article? (10 points)
6. Authors motivation Why is the author writing this article (to provide information or clarification, publicize new research data, to cause action, etc.)? (2 points)
After you have compiled and critically analyzed your articles, you must write a two-page summary or conclusion section (20 points). In this section, you should include the following information:
1. What you learned on the topic from the 3 articles (5 points).
2. How the information varied from source to source in terms of bias, objectivity, and depth of information presented (6 points).
3. Compare the information from the three sources to your textbook and/or lecture (3 points).
4. Your opinion or stand on the issue. Why? Support (6 points).
