Source Assignment. Following the directions of your instructor, use several types of sources to support your position in an essay. One option might be to select paired or related readings (from this book), and also to interview someone with the background or experience to act as another valuable source of information. A second option might be to view and evaluate a film, television program, radio show, podcast, blog, Web site, art exhibit, or performance or other event. Then supplement your review by reading several articles that review the same event, evaluate a different or related production, or discuss criteria for similar types of items or events.
