Formal Essay #5: Critical Analysis Essay:
Choose any form of multi-media and analyze it for bias (from a gender, cultural, ethnic or soci-economic perspective). Find 3rd party, credible (maybe academic?) sources to back your analysis. Incorporate the 3rd party data into your own opinion (minimum of three pages).
Consider a strucutre in which you provide an anecdotal or experiential introduction. Followed by a paragraph that centers your thesis and main point. Then, synopsize and provide background to the multi-media piece you have chosen. Next, provide the ways in which the piece evinces your thesis. Notch up your opinion by incorporating your research. Cite. Attribute. Write an engaging, anecdotal intro. Write an argumentative, implicit thesis. And incorporate all of the tenets of good writing discussed thus far.
I should have never used Fox News as my bias paper, it is too much ignorance at one time.
