American/African American/English/Southern/Appalachian Literatures Article Evaluations

    At various times through the semester, I will provide a link to an article or essay that adds to or gives contrast to some of the works we are reading.  In this assignment, you will need to thoroughly read/examine (not skim!) the writing and then do a bit of critical thinking.  Each assignment will have a specific focus given as a guide for your evaluation, and you will need to follow that guide and respond to the article, but you will also need to include the following basic information at the beginning of each submission (typed after standard MLA info of name, class, etc...):

Title of article and source (website name)

Author of article, if one is given

Length of article (use "Print Preview" under "File" to get this info.--you'll see the number of pages listed on the top bar.)

Date of article, if given

Follow this information with your evaluation.  Again, maintain standard MLA format...and say what you think and why you think it :)  A good length for this assignment is 2 pages (unless otherwise stated with the assignment)...or more if you're on a roll!
