I’m working on a writing question and need support to help me understand better.The final project of the semester will be a 3-5 page paper of your deconstruction
and critical analysis of a current event taking place in your discipline, desired field,
or in society at large.
FORMATTING – 5 Points
– MLA Format
– Title page/reference page
– 12-pt Font
– Times New Roman
PART I – INITIAL ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION – 10 Points
– Your paper should showcase your ability to deconstruct and analyze a
current event. Based on the deconstruction and analysis, you should interpret
the current event so that your audience is able to understand what the current
event is and why it is considered important to your discipline, desired field,
or society.
o Who is involved? (Who are the stakeholders/important people
involved? Are there specific communities involved?)
o Is there an issue (a vital or unsettled matter)? If so, for whom is the
issue a negative? For whom is the issue positive? Do you have this

information? If not, are you able to ascertain such from the context of
the current event?
o How will/does this current event effect your discipline or desired
field? How will/does this current event effect society?
PART II – EVALUATION – 15 Points
– Your paper should showcase your ability to determine the importance of this
current event in the grand scheme of your discipline, desired field, or
existence within this society. Based on your analysis and interpretation, why
is this current event important?
Do you actually believe the current even is
important? Could it be a falsely glorified set of actions that actually
don’t/won’t amount to much change? Explain.
PART III – SYNTHESIS & APPLICATION – 10 Points
– By this point, you have not only deconstructed the current event, but
analyzed and given an interpretation of the situation as well. You have also
evaluated the current event for yourself based on your deconstruction,
analysis, and interpretation.
Now, you are called to synthesize. Using the
knowledge you had prior to this research, conjoin that with what you have
learned from this deconstruction and analysis. Use this method to come up
with 2 new questions or predictions about your discipline or desired field.

– How will you apply what you have learned and the new
questions/predictions you have come up with? Will these things help you
better prepare for your desired field? Will these findings lead you to more
research? Do these findings make you re-think your choice of
discipline/desired field?
Do these findings reassure you of your choice of
study/desired career choice? What do your questions/predictions say about
society? How will you apply the things you have learned to the way you
function in society and interact with the people/community/group in
question?
Requirements: write 3 pages
