Supplemental+Readings

====These three readings (click on the underlined titles to download each reading, which will also be available as a hard-copy) helped me become a successful academic writer. If you read nothing else this semester, I hope you'll read these three readings because they have the potential to help you more than anything else. I swear.====

====An Introduction to Academic, Argumentative Writing. In particular, this reading helps you to understand how to write an academic argument by starting from research and / or opposing views.====

==== How do I correctly integrate sources? This reading will help you become an expert. Please read and follow the steps outlined in the reading (frame every quotation--don't hesitate to use the templates to do so!).====

===="So What? Who Cares?: ": The two questions you must answer in everything you write (from an email to an academic essay). As this reading will remind you, no one can read your mind and no one else may think what you are saying has any relevance to them. Thus, it is your job to say why your position / subject matters--this reading will help you be successful in your endeavors.====
