Unit 1 Draft
1st Source: A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way - The New York Times
Analysis: Molly Young likely created this small pencil shop in Lower Manhattan to give people whether students or enthusiasts a new idea of pencils especially with the strong role technology plays in our lives and history. Young adds a meticulous tone to the article with understanding how personality might attract one to a certain pencil. The purpose of this shop is to bring a new light to pencils and their use not just writing on paper but also connecting with the community. Young writes in style to make the audience feel welcomed and intrigued in the shop and its purpose.
2nd Source: What Students Are Saying About Learning to Write in the Age of A.I. - The New York Times
Analysis: Through this opinionated article, Bruni’s goal was to give to different and also sharing views of AI and the necessity of being able to write through the opinions of high school students. This source brings us to the larger questions we face now with AI taking over the way humans think and create new ideas. Reading these opinions coming from high school students shows how much technology has truthfully impacted the youth and their education, and how even being able to display multiple intellectual opinions in an article like this is important.
3rd Source: The Importance Of Integrity In Personal And Professional Life
Analysis: Rachel Burgess editorial article serves the purpose to not just give a definition of integrity but to show its principle. How integrity not only shows one's character but builds their moral values; whether they succeed in life (general guide of one's pathway in life). This editorial article is ultimately the opinion of Burgess published by BRAINZ. But it's a very universal and important opinion that we shouldn’t just bypass because integrity does play a huge role in our lives despite circumstances.
When it comes to writing and technology, integrity is very significant. Whether you're writing for high school or even papers in college. Integrity isn’t something that’s taken lightly. Personally, it's a core value that’s been instilled in my brain since middle school. So, when it comes to the use of AI and technology in our writing. It’s important to still hold these moral values in our writings and ideas.


what stands out to me is how you clearly connected each source to the inquiry very well. Directly tying each source to how it relates to writing and technology, whether that be through integrity and AI use, or how technology has influenced youth education. What I think would help these analysis stand out more would be adding slightly more information to each one. Adding context to source 2 and 3 may help the reader understand exactly what the articles detail, as well as how it more clearly connects to the inquiry. Using features such as direct quotes may also help the reader better understand the connections.
ReplyDeleteI did take this feedback into account when developing my final set of analysis. I realized that my analysis were more on the technical side directly responding to the inquiry and what was expected. But, I did need to add a bit of context and quotes to make my analysis flow more and more understanding. I definitely do think the addition of the quotes was good feedback ( it felt more like an analysis with quotes examples - more structure). - Amarise E
DeleteThese are good starts for source analyses however, I think more substance could be added with either more detail from your sources or personal anecdotes. Overall good start! - Ryan
