For this assignment, you are to read a journal article related to the Mexican Revolution. The report is to be 5-7 pages in length. Please include both a title page and works cited page. (these pages do not count toward the total 5-7 page count of your review) You are also encouraged to follow the MLA or Chicago formats to develop this report. Please double-space your review and be sure to have a series of clear and coherent paragraphs. Avoid both very short and excessively long paragraphs. Always properly indent your paragraphs. This report will count as 15% toward your overall class grade. And on your works cited page, cite your articles just as they are listed in the EBSCO database. Let me provide an example of the type of the format you should follow:
“Pancho Villa: A Revolutionary Life,” by John J. Womack, Jr. Journal of the Historical Society. Jan. 2002, Vol. 2 Issue 1, pp. 21-42, 22p., Database: Academic Search Complete.
In terms of the content of the report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote most of your review to a summary of the main points that the author (or authors) is trying to convey to the reader. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What type of article is this? Is the author presenting an original feature, or is he/she conducting a book review? If this is a book review, what book (or books) is being reviewed? What is the author’s purpose for writing this article? What is the author’s academic or professional background?
