Introduction
Early in the paper, the writer should incorporate what “they say” by situating his/her analysis as a response to the editor’s request. He/she should also make a claim for or against publication and support that claim with reasons. Finally, the writer should answer the “Who cares?” and “So what?” questions by explaining why it is important for The Shorthorn to publish—or not to publish—the article.
Are all these elements clear to you? If so, prove it by repeating these elements back to the writer (feel free to quote the writer directly in your response). If not, describe what is missing and suggest some options for how the writer might go about satisfying these elements of the assignment.
Identifications
The writer should clearly identify the author’s central claim and supporting reasons.
Are these identifications apparent? If so, repeat back to the writer his/her identifications of the author’s central claim and supporting reasons. If not, explain how the writer might go about making these identifications clearer.
Analysis/Evaluation
The writer should analyze the following elements in the article and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of a Shorthorn audience:
• evidence supporting the reasons.
• acknowledgment of and response to potential counterarguments.
• the author’s ethos appeals.
• the author’s pathos appeals.
Has the writer provided a sufficiently in-depth analysis and evaluation of each element? If so, explain why you think his/her analysis/evaluation is convincing and sufficient. If not, suggest ways the writer might enhance and add depth to his/her analysis/evaluation.
