Use these Podcast S/A Questions to help you think about what to put in your summary and analysis.

Here is what you need to do in your analysis:

1. Start with a main point about the work as a whole and then support it. (Do NOT start with the author’s main point in the work, as you did in the summary). Maybe you want to make the point that everyone should read this work. Maybe you want to make the point that the author is missing something essential. Maybe you want to make the point that the writing isn’t effective for the intended audience.

2. After you make your point, you need to support your perspective with evidence:

• evidence from the work (quotes or paraphrasing)
• evidence from other sources
• evidence from your personal experience (if you have any)
