Analysis Paper

Communication is used to inform, to persuade and to analyze. In this assignment, you will analyze both sides of an issue and then present a fair and objective analysis. You will practice looking at both sides of an issue by writing an argument, a counterargument, and rebuttal.

Remember that you should not use the same topic you used for your Week 5 paper. This is a new topic (the collection of intelligence state side would not be invading citizens privacy) that you identified in your week 2 forum.

Your introduction paragraph should include a “hook” to grab the reader’s attention. The thesis statement is typically seen in the first paragraph. To provide support for your thesis, you should use credible sources and cite them according to the style of your discipline. In this persuasive paper, you will follow this structure and include a counterargument in which you introduce and provide support for a contradictory point of view. Following the counterargument, you will provide a rebuttal, in which you explain why your initial point of view is more compelling than the counterargument. Both the counterargument and rebuttal should be integrated smoothly into your paper; no headings are needed to announce them. The conclusion should restate the strongest points from your argument and reinforce the conclusion while giving the reader something to think about moving forward. The conclusion may mention the counterargument and rebuttal.

  • PURPOSE: To analyze
  • AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field
  • LENGTH: 1,000 words (Times New Roman font). Exceeding the word count is not a good thing.
  • SOURCES: 5 (five) sources total, with at least 1 (one) from a professional journal in the APUS Library (peer-reviewed)

Annotated Bibliography

Choose any two of the five sources used for this assignment. Each source will have the correct citation entry for the citation style you are using, as well as an annotation, which is made of a paragraph or two telling the reader about the source.

Here are the steps you will take:

  • First, determine what kind of source you are using. Is it a book? Journal article? Blog? Using one of the citation guides in the APUS Library, find the model that matches your source. Hint: if you are looking at your source on your computer, you will go to the category of electronic sources to start looking.
  • Copy that model and paste it into your bibliography.
  • Then put your source in the correct citation format, following the model you just copied and pasted.
  • Finally, write a brief annotation of that source.The annotation should describe the main ideas covered in the source as well as an evaluation by you for the source’s usefulness for your project. The handout attached below has more information about what should be in the annotation.
  • Follow the student example included below. You will see the model, the citation, and then the annotation for the source.The rubric shown below shows that you will be graded on having the model for the citation format, so don’t forget to include it.

    • Sample Annotation.Each of your entries should follow the format below.
