The article chosen is Mother Tongue by Amy Tan in “The BEDFORD Guide for College Writers”**

When you read, consider the logical fallacies, the speaker, the time, and the validity of what you read along with the sources used to sell the thesis. Writers evaluate by careful consideration and by learning to speak back to the writing – going against the grain helps discover fallacies, omissions, bias, faulty ideas, etc.

This assignment offers practice in evaluating an article for its value, validity, and contribution to written communication. Select one of the assigned articles for the evaluation composition. Use one of the prewriting notes files to prepare for the outline.

Finally, this assignment is not a summary. If you summarize the article then you will fail this assignment.
