THIS IS ASSIGNMENT 3


In this assignment you will create an evidence chart that will organize the evidence that you will use for an upcoming paper assignment. You won't be writing the paper for this assignment-- just the evidence chart.

(You will recall that you were introduced to evidence charts in HW2 here)

The first step will be to look at next week's paper assignment (see syllabus) for which you be writing the evidence chart this week.

Next, you should decide THREE CLAIMS for which you will provide at least two points of evidence (for a total of six points of evidence). Because the essay assignment obliges you to explain certain similarities between Inside the Real CSI and Suspect Identities, each claim will need to have at least on point of evidence from each source (Inside the Real CSI & Suspect Identities). The essay you write, however, might easily have more than three claims and more than six points of evidence.

To help you out, I've created a document you can download here (delivered as a microsoft word .doc file to your desktop) that you can rename and just drop your evidence into.

This evidence should take the form of direct quotation of no more than 10 words (see here if you do not know how to reduce a quotation) from either source.

To make it easier for you to use direct quotations from Inside the Real CSI, may want to refer to the transcript for the program here.
