After you read this article, think of how you would respond to it. Yes, the first step is to summarize
in a couple of sentences their argument (maybe search for their thesis or question first). Before you
decide on what the focus of your paper may be, think of what kind of evidence you can use in the
papers. The sources of evidence are diverse:

1. Use facts from your personal experience to support your ideas. First, write down relevant
facts from your life that pertain to this topic.

2. Create a personal experiment. You can try something new at home or online for a week or
so to collect data. If you are, for example, writing about Yoga, take a few yoga classes online
and describe in a journal how this experience is affecting you. If you write about social media
or using the internet create an experiment in which you test your own reactions to a social
media cute/ ‘detox’. This would imply using the internet less or doing something on the
internet in a clear or effective way.

3. You may interview a family member of a friend who is a good and willing subject for this
topic. You may even do a focus group/survey with your entire family/ social circle.

4. Find one more article that both informs about this very topic and perhaps presents a similar
or different view than the one expressed in your primary source (one of the articles listed
above).
Would the author of this article you found agree with the primary source?

concern for many)
4. Definition (why the meaning of a concept needs to be revised)
