Can you think critically?
Critical Thinking Writing Assignment Choose one of the texts we have read over the course of the semester and explain the definition of love as presented within the work. Begin by defining the term and use evidence from the text to support your argument. Be sure to address the core values of community and respect as you consider your definition of love.
The Critical Thinking Writing Assignment should be at least 500 words, double-spaced, have a maximum font size of 12, and be in MLA format. Make sure to use MLA documentation format and include a works cited page if you use outside sources. You are not expected to use outside sources, but if you choose to
do so, ensure that you are properly documenting those sources. From the Course Menu, you can access online library resources and MLA information. (From the Online Library Resources page, click on Recommended Websites, then Research and Writing Help, then Citation Help.)
