Article on the large hadron collider in the news - jinxed from the future!!
For those that read or saw Angels and Demons, this was in that fictional work with its ability to create (maybe) the God particle.
Please be sure when you're doing Stephen Hawking that this is an AUTHOR CRITIQUE - not a BIOGRAPHY.
I'm concerned with WHY the information is important to the author - not WHAT every single piece of the information is.
Think about it like this: If I want to read the article, I can just read that. All I want from you is what the author was trying to get across in 5 paragraphs.
This all takes things back to why I'm so concerned about students listing everything (it's makes me wonder if they understand any of it) on their note cards.
Each paragraph is a single fact - not a retelling of every fact.
Remember, when you have the fact, it hast to mean something that is a larger explanation of the hero / heroine's life (to the author).
Your thesis is that the "author's intention is X."
If you don't prove that in your paper, then you're not proving your case (it's just like a courtroom drama). Just saying Jackie Robinson did X or Doris Voitier did Y is not the same as saying, "when Stephen Hawking did Z, it made Rachel Cooke see that it meant A and she wanted the reader to clearly know this was what made him a special person."
