Research and Reading: Short Essay
Architecture, Astronomy, Biology, Drama, Neuroscience, and Social Psychology.
Choose one of the subjects below and the article that is listed under it as the topic of your paper. Your task is to provide a thorough summary of the article and identify at least two of the patterns that the author has used to structure his or her essay (i.e., comparison/contrast, description/narration, exemplification, argument/persuasion, process analysis, division/classification, or cause/effect)
Synthesize at least two quotations and two paraphrases into your text and provide an in-text citation. That is, when you quote any words directly or paraphrase an idea, be sure to add a parenthetical citation in your text after the quotation or after the paraphrase (If you are using an html rather than a pdf file, you cannot cite any page numbers, but do include the author's name in parentheses.)
Remember to provide the full bibliographical information for the source by adding a Works Cited page at the end of your essay listing the source (or sources) you used.
