Effect of Media on the Reading Patterns of College Students in US

Identify 3-5 tentative stakeholders you might research and write about for this essay. In a paragraph for each, describe what you know about them and explain what you need to find out about them.



As you describe what you know and don’t yet know, consider the following questions: Who are they? What do they value? What motivates them? What do you know about their perspective so far? At what level of stasis do they argue (fact, definition, evaluation, proposal)? Where (like what publications or venues) do they share their views? Where might you be able to learn more about their views? What kind of influence do they have on the conversation?



You don’t need to address all of these questions for this prompt, but try to develop a thorough explanation as you can about what you know and don’t know so far for each stakeholder.



Select four sources that you've found and deemed usable for your project so far. For each source, provide 1) the works cited entry for that source, followed by 2) a 1-paragraph summary of that source and 3) a paragraph that evaluates the source. (This last part of the instructions are from an older model, but it can be a good approach if you wish to handle the annotated bibliography in this format).



As you evaluate the source, address these questions: Why is this a useful, credible, and reliable source for your project? What does it help you to do and understand? What about the context (audience, authorship, place of publication, and purpose) is important to consider?



For each summary, remember the qualities of an effective summary:



• It accurately, fairly, and clearly explains the author's main point, thesis, or claim, usually using an active verb (e.g., contends, argues, complains, asserts, challenges...).



• It provides context to help a reader situate the source. It explains the author's reasoning or evidence to help a reader understand the author's main claims.



• You should be selective about what reasoning and evidence to include. It is written in mostly your own words, quoting very minimally, if at all.



• It includes parenthetical citations for quotations and paraphrases.



• It avoids editorializing or inserting your opinion.



• It uses attributive tags to clearly mark the author's perspective and claims and as theirs.



PLEASE FOCUS ON THIS PART



The first part is not important, just need to confirm 3-5 tentative stakeholders. No need the paragraph for describing it.



The following questions are important because of due tonight. Each paragraph around 50 words is okay.
