Author
Yeo, Andrew
Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from Government 100, Power and Politics: Power, Tragedy, and Honor—The Three Faces of War. This in-class writing assignment is designed with four goals in mind. Students should learn how to (1) distinguish between different sources in political science: academic journals, policy journals, newspapers, and news magazines; (2) identify the type of content each source tended to provide; (3) recognize the style of writing in each source and its intended audience; and (4) adopt an appropriate style of writing for their own work when assignments require different styles. 6 page pdf
