In "Carving the Roast Beast", Stephen Law cites a number of sources (2003). As you are reading your classmates' summary paragraphs, which I have emailed to you, you will notice that several people commented on those sources. There are a couple of questions on Law's use of sources that are worth discussing since they are good examples of how sources are regularly used in academic writing.
- How many sources does Law cite in his essay? What are they?
- Why does he cite them? How does he use each source? (From your summary paragraphs, I thought that there might be some disagreement here. There is certainly something worth discussing.)
Feel welcome to share your ideas on these or related questions arising from Law's essay. You can make one longer comment, or a few short ones. And you can always come back to comment on other comments. (I suggest you turn on "Subscribe by email" when you make your first comment.)
