Problem
i. What is the thesis of this particular piece of writing? Is there a particular sentence that you can identify as the thesis?
ii. What evidence is used to back up the thesis?
iii. Evaluate your reading experience. What emotions did you feel as you read through this piece? Did you feel any immediate attraction to, or repulsion from, this piece (sometimes, our own preconceived opinions on something can subconsciously make us more open to, or resistant to, the ideas in a piece writing)?
iv. What is your overall evaluation of this piece? Is it convincing? Why or why not? Would this be something you would want to research more? Why or why not?
