Writing Interpretive Essays
To interpret is to explain the meaning of information using evaluation (determining the value), analysis (separating material into its
constituent parts and examining it critically), synthesis (uniting parts so as to form a whole), and insight (intuitively apprehending the
true nature of a thing).
Historians use frequently five kinds of paragraphs which “contribute to an essay rather in the same way that many different kinds of
artisans and workers – carpenters, electricians, masons, and painters – contribute to erecting a building. Each paragraph adds
something unique to an essay; each worker, something unique to a building. But all will be devoted toward the fulfillment of the
architect’s plan which, in the case of the essay, is the thesis.”

5.
Example(effective because detailed knowledge not required For example, Abraham Lincoln was a great president.
Comparison and contrast (can move from a better known to a lesser known subject)
Analogy (compare a simply idea such as a rose to a complicated idea such as love)
Classification (creates categories such as the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the 1960s, or the Seventeenth Century)
Cause and effect(explains why something changes and the consequences of those changes in time)
Writing the Book Critique
Critique one book from the book list in the CSI Library or on my website. It should be typed, double-spaced, one title page with the
author, title, and publication date. Provide three to four additional pages of text. Include your grade estimate on the title page. Just
staple together; please no folders.
Getting started: Read quickly, take no more than one page of notes on key ideas, use these notes for interpreting the author’s thesis,
which is always an opinion, not a fact.
10 pts. A. Discuss the author’s thesis (central argument: “a reason given in proof or rebuttal”): Give the author’s thesis in the first
paragraph, using the verb argues, which makes the thesis more forceful. Underline the thesis.
10 pts B. Thesis statement on the 3/5 card.
20 pts. C. Discuss four supportive arguments: Develop each one with a good paragraph. Use evidence to demonstrate supportive
arguments; do not summarize. Be faithful to the author’s arguments even if you disagree with them. This should be no more than two
pages.
ii
30 pts. D. Discuss three strengths and three weaknesses of the book. This should have detail and require about a page or two. Discuss
whether the thesis was achieved successfully. Now you can argue with the author. Explain the strengths and weaknesses. Remember
that there are no perfect books. Strengths and weaknesses could include such things as style, content, organization, or structure.
20 pts. E. Grammar: Do not use “I think,” I feel,” etc. It is your essay so we know these are your assumptions. Proofread and
correct typos and spelling. Avoid short one or two sentence paragraphs. Watch the flow of your writing. Read it out loud and see
how it sounds. Have a friend read your paper and make suggestions. You might also want to visit the Writing Lab in the Academic
Development Center.
10pts. F. Proof of participation in a Peer Group.
Instructions for Peer Group Assessment of Book Critiques:
1. By April 2 give a copy of your book critique to the two other readers in your encouragement group.
2. Each reader provide good feedback on the Book Critique Evaluation Sheet. Read the critique once for content and a
second time for evaluation. Return the book critique and the evaluation sheet to the author by April 6.
3. As the author, make any needed changes and hand the book critique to me by April 16. Staple the two student Book Critique
Evaluation Sheets to my copy.
Policies
Grading Policy: Registering for this course implies a contract to complete it. Grades reflect two possibilities.
1. Students completing the four unit tests and the book critique will receive grades based on their performance on those
assessments. Also students use self assessment to predict on each test and book critique the anticipated letter grade.
Accurate predictions in each case provide two bonus points.
Four Unit Tests
400 points
Book Critique (due 4/16/07)
100 points (late papers lose 20 points)
TOTAL
500 points
A - 90% of 500 = 450
B - 80% of 500 = 400
C - 70% of 500 = 350
D - 60% of 500 = 300
F - less than = 300
2. Students failing to complete course assessments, to attend class, and/or to drop by the last day to withdraw-November
9, 2006, will receive the “F” which is earned. I do not initiate “Ws”. If extenuating circumstance justify a “W”, please
contact me or the Advising Center about the withdrawal option.
Utilize a peer group policy: Student organize into peer groups of at least three to provide “buddy” support such as
providing notes when one must miss class, discussing confusing book objectives ( in person, phone or email), writing
practice essays and exchanging for input, and using provided rubrics to assess book critiques for each other.
Attendance policy:
1. Students with no more than one absence during a testing unit may use a retake test to attempt to improve scores on
Goals A-G. No retakes are given on Goal H, the essay questions.
2. Students missing no classes receive 12 bonus pts, one absence, 8 pts, two absences, 6 pts.
Honesty policy: A student cheating on an exam or plagiarizing on the book critique receives a zero on that assignment.
On-line Course Evaluations: Students are strongly encouraged to complete evaluations at the end of the course.
Evaluations are very important to assist the teaching staff to continually improve the course. Evaluations are available
online at: http://evaluation.csi.edu. Evaluations open up two weeks prior to the end of the course. The last day to complete
an evaluation is the last day of the course. During the time the evaluations are open, students can complete the course
evaluations at their convenience from any computer with Internet access, including in the open lab in the Library and in
the SUB. When students log in they should see the evaluations for the courses in which they are enrolled. Evaluations are
anonymous. Filling out the evaluation should only take a few minutes. Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated!
iii
Student Disabilities: Any student with a documented disability may be eligible for related accommodations. To
determine eligibility and secure services, students should contact the coordinator of Disability Services at their first
opportunity after registration for a class. Student Disability Services is located on the second floor of the Taylor Building
on the Twin Falls Campus. 208.732.6260 (voice) or 208.734.9929 (TTY), or e-mail [email protected].
Organization, Reading and Testing Schedule: Each of the four units has eight goals. The first seven goals have objectives; book
objectives have asterisks, lecture objectives do not. These objectives are assessed with 35 multiple choice questions (70 points
total) for each unit. The eighth goal has six essays. The student will answer in class on the day the exam is administered the two
essays (15 points each or 30 point total) selected by dice. The unit test is then worth 100 points.
