In-Class Assignment

Which Article is Scholarly?

Instructions

Below are links to four articles related to the course. In groups of two or three, evaluate each to determine which is scholarly, which is reliable but not scholarly (peer reviewed), and which is popular.

Do not try to read the entire article. Instead, scan each article with the criteria for distinguishing scholarly from popular publications in mind.
Focus on the first and last pages of each article. Record your judgement on the print handout, along with the reason(s) why you identified an article as scholarly or popular.

Articles

• “‘Un Puñado de críticos’: Navigating the Critical Readings of Isabel Allende’s Work”
• “The Writer in His Labyrinth ”
• “Gabriel Garcia Márquez”
• “The Logic of Wings: Gabriel Garcia Márquez and Afro-American Literature”
