For this week's concept worksheet you'll annotate a scholarly text and identify how it displays the traits of academic writing that we have studied and discussed this week.

*You can choose to annotate in Microsoft Word or PDF acrobat reader

Using comments, highlight and comment on the features of academic writing that you notice in the article. Depending on your comment, you may highlight a single word, a sentence, or a whole paragraph.

As a reminder, here are the features of academic writing that we read about this week:

• Complexity
• Formality
• Precision
• Objectivity
• Explicitness
• Accuracy
• Hedging
• Responsibility
• Organization
• Planning

Leave a minimum of 10 comments on the document. Don't just identify a feature of academic writing. Explain how it is used and analyze its effect.

Your annotations should identify at least 5 of the features of academic writing listed above. You may also comment on other features of academic writing that came up in this week's discussion.

Finally, leave one last annotation on your article that answers the following questions:

• Which feature of academic writing that you identified above would you most like to work on developing in your own writing?
• What benefit to you as a writer will working on this feature provide?
