Topic: Body positivity and diet culture
Instructions: each five of those sources must be used at least once in the essay. Your document must include a works cited page containing the correct citations for the sources
The specific goal of this assignment is for you to summarize, evaluate, and analyze secondary sources in relation to one specific theme or topic. You should include specific details on the works you’ve read in a concise format—so that the annotated bibliography will be useful to you as you write the Argument Essay. To successfully summarize and evaluate a source, you should know its thesis, argument, and evidence—in other words, what’s the point of the article, and how does the writer communicate this? Your annotations—the paragraphs following the MLA citations—should be descriptive and critical.
Argumentative essay: Once you have chosen your topic, decide on a question about the topic that your argument can answer. Use your sources from the Annotated Bibliography to guide your discussion of the topic and support your claims.
Use the same sources from the bibliography
Question for the essay: Should social media influencers be held responsible for promoting unrealistic body standards?
