Read the following PDF document and write a source outline based on these requirements.
-Bibliographical Citation
Write a bibliographic citation for the book, article, book chapter, periodical, etc. following the prescribed format
outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style.
-Author Information
Who is the author? What is their background? Are they a PhD in the field, hold a professorship somewhere, or
are they a journalist? Write a one sentence biographical sketch of the author. Do a quick internet search for this
information if it is not provided in the article/chapter/website.
-Thesis/Focus
What is the thesis of this article/chapter/review? Compose this statement in your own words, quoting relevant
passages from the reading. If you quote the author, make sure you explain this as the author’s argument,
followed by the quote and a reference to the page number in parentheses after the quote. For example: As
Genevieve Reiner argues, “agency in Contemporary Nepalese art is defined by feminist agendas and the
struggle for meaning in a global Nepali society.” (26)
-Main Arguments
Each essay provides arguments and supporting evidence for their thesis. List the main arguments articulated
by the essay. Do not quote here; summarize in your own words.
-Relevant Terms and Concepts
Write out new terms and concepts, attempting to define them (try looking them up in a dictionary, for example.)
Also list terms and concepts from the reading you found confusing so we can discuss them in class.
-Questions?
Write at least two discussion questions for class. This question can be about the reading itself, but also
consider how the reading relates to the thematic topic for that class.
