Assignment:

This assignment offers some in-depth information about ancient Greek medical practices and how much they continue to influence the present. You will create a list of answers based on an academic source and in doing so will gain experience that will prove helpful for your later essays.

Read the attached article carefully.

List items 1 through 8 in a numbered series (so that your paper looks like the following list in this assignment rather than an essay but without the instructions).

1. State the authors’ thesis or purpose (either paraphrased or quoted directly, including page number where statement appears).

1. In your own words, briefly summarize the entire article (2-3 sentences).

1. Quote the authors once or twice, choosing what you consider particularly eloquent sentences (include page number after each direct quote). Explain why you have chosen each quotation.

1. Cite specific examples the authors use to support their thesis (again, either paraphrased or quoted directly, including page numbers for each). Explain how each example supports the thesis.

1. Describe the audience to whom you think the article is directed. Cite specific examples to explain how you know that. (Think back to Ch. 9 of They Say, I Say in Comp. I.)

1. Describe the article’s strengths and provide at least 1 specific example.

1. Describe the article’s weaknesses and provide at least 1 specific example.

1. State what specific information you found most interesting about the article.

1. Attach and submit your assignment. Do not include the instructions or your similarity report will be too high.
