Using the following guidelines, write an analysis of how well or poorly Singleterry presented his argument.  In other words, you are arguing that the editorial was well written or poorly written, or a mixture of both.
In an analysis you are not telling the reader about the main viewpoints of the author or what the writing is about; instead, you are examining the structure and the details of the writing. You break the story into smaller parts to understand it better. Do not express your opinion about the subject discussed in the paper. You can ONLY give your opinion on how well the author did to convince the reader of his/her argument.

The first paragraph should be the introductory paragraph and it should include the TITLE, AUTHOR’S NAME, and PUBLICATION details. Begin with the short SUMMARY of the paper (which you’ve already written for the summary assignment regarding the same article).  You can also give the reader some background information on the subject being discussed in the writing and then give the thesis statement of the author’s paper. In other words, what point is the author arguing.  End this first paragraph with your THESIS STATEMENT on well or poorly you believe the author gets his point across. 

In your analysis paper, you should address the main argument the author is making and how well he/she supports the argument. The other factor to address is how reliable are the sources, and the authority that the author cites to make the argument strong. An analysis paper can also include the strengths and weaknesses of the paper and how they affect the argument being made by the author. You should also examine the tools like statistics, examples or citing of an authority to analyze the authors reasoning for writing the paper. The other points one could address in an analysis paper are does the author address the oppositions view point and does he/she attempt to refute it. Again, DO NOT express your opinion about the subject discussed in the author’s paper/argument.  You can only give your opinion on how well the author did to convince the reader.

This is my Senior Capstone Project, I need a 5 page research paper on the effects and benefits that Psilocybin Mushrooms have on mental illness such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and most specifically MDD. This should include the ancient history of Psilocybin Mushrooms up to recent events like the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkin’s studies on the substance, and provide detail about the chemical structure of Psilocybin and Psilocin

This essay should be between 900 and 1000 words, excluding the required annotated bibliography.

First, you will choose a public debate that has at least two opposing sides (please do not reuse your Toulmin essay topic). As before, you need to research that topic in order to narrow the topics scope, so it can be easily discussed in 1000 word essay.

Note: Consider your audience as laymen in the field who have only general knowledge of your topic.

This essay must include a minimum of five sources.  Three should be peer-reviewed sources, preferably from the APUS databases.  From the library welcome page, click on Advanced Search at the bottom of the page and then check the “peer reviewed” sources box filter.

The following should clarify the term “peer-reviewed”:  http://youtu.be/rOCQZ7QnoN0. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed in your textbook, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed articles.  You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field.  If you cannot find strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic. If you have a question about the validity of a source, please contact a librarian: [email protected]

Make sure to include the following sections in your essay:

an introduction and claim,
background,
body,
and a conclusion.

Make sure your essay includes the following:

The background for your chosen topic,
A discussion of both sides of the debate, including core values or warrants underlying their arguments
Your common ground (Rogerian) solution/claim
An explanation of how that common ground claim can resolve the core issue for both sides.

After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please make sure your essay is written in third person.

The Annotated Bibliography

As with the Toulmin essay, an annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Rogerian essay.

The following is a sample of an annotated bibliography entry.

Clark, Irene L. The Genre of Argument. Fort Worth, TX: Harcourt Brace, 1998. Print.

Clark’s textbook identifies the major steps to developing a well-researched and well-written argumentative essay. It is older, but still contains much useful material on process. Professional essays are included in the text as models. It will help me mostly with writing and organization, since internet research has changed since 1998.
