Task 1
Assignment Overview
This assignment asks you to identify and engage with an outside source that you will cite and put into dialogue with your argumentative essay. By providing a brief overview of a source you are using (or plan to use), this exercise will help you establish connections between your argument and the sources argument. It also gives you an opportunity to share your research with other writers and readers.
Skills and Goals
- Practice summarizing an academic source

In addition, you may also:
- note the significance of the text (e.g., whether it is a seminal work, a widely cited source, or one you find especially compelling)
