This American Life Shows LINK

Read a little bit about a show before you choose. Please note that some of the shows do contain controversial topics....so you are not surprised, make sure to read about them before you listen.

Assignment: After you've listened to one show (each show is one hour), you will need to write the following:

* Describe your show, the theme, & the acts in it. (25 points)
* Evaluate it - what worked, what didn't, what you learned (25 points)

Enjoy! Remember, you aren't downloading these (that costs money) but listening to them online.

Suggestions for Revision of Outline:

Make sure you have your claim in your thesis statement
include an introduction (with background information if applicable)
include evidence for your argument
counterargument (you don't have to mention it, but you DO have to REFUTE it with evidence)
use your strongest or 2nd strongest argument to refute
include a conclusion that reminds your audience why they should listen to you & believe you have a point
MAKE SURE that you cite your sources, use " " when you've used info directly from sources - use parenthetical / in-text citations for each point in your outline.
MAKE sure that annotated bibliography is complete and corrected
put bibliography in alphabetical order by author's last name; if no author, use title, but skip "the" or "an" or "a" when alphabetizing
cut and paste annotated bibliography to the end of your outline
put a heading on your paper
Every reliable source should be cited in your paper preferably multiple times. No one paragraph or # in the outline should be supported by just one source.
include a hook
