Writing Prompts for Rheingold’s “Look Who’s Talking”

10 minutes, in your journals….go!

Group 1: What is his most memorable claim? In detail, tell us why.

Group 2: How did Rheingold employ sources? Did they convince you of any claims? Tell us why or why not.

Group 3: How did what you expected from the introduction get fulfilled (or not) later on? Why?

Group 4: What about the conclusion? How does it do more than summarize what comes before, and why?

Group 5: What would you guess he'd have to add (other than a well written works-cited list) to make this article into an academic paper?
