You must make one 300-600 word post to the Textual Analysis. Your posts should discuss a specific moment in the text–focusing on less than a page rather than the text as a whole–and make an argument or unique observation of your choice. There should be very little space given to summary of the text or formal introductions and conclusions. Assume that we have all done the reading, and use your word-count efficiently.
As always, we should strive to make our posts interesting. I will define interesting as both surprising and specific. In other words, a good textual analysis post makes an argument that’s unexpected in some way–resisting the obvious conclusions and going beyond what’s discussed in the week’s lecture video–and makes that argument by focusing on the concrete specifics of the text. You should avoid vagueness and generalization as much as possible.
Each week’s textual analysis will be graded out of five possible points. Extensive feedback won’t be possible given the size of the class and the pace of the summer session. Here are the basic criteria I will be considering:
Content is interesting (surprising and specific).
Scope is narrow, and the main point is developed sufficiently in under 600 words. Word count is not wasted by summaries of the assigned reading or by overly formal introductions/conclusion.
Arguments are based on concrete particulars of the text, including direct quotations where appropriate.
Responses are respectful and engage seriously with the arguments of peers
Responses add new, interesting complexity to peers’ arguments rather than simply agreeing or disagreeing.
