Questions about "Did NASA Fake the Moon Landing" by Ray Villard p. 76
The Curious Reader
- What kinds of research did Ray Villard most likely do to write the
article (He doesn’t use internal citations or a works cited page because
journalists don’t; academics have to. But he had to do research,
nevertheless.)
- What does the thesis statement of this essay seem to be? Where do you find
it?
- How does Villard structure his essay? It must have a structure, or you
wouldn’t be able to follow it.
- Did you find this essay convincing? Why or why not? How does the author
establish his point of view? Give examples fromo the text that help explain
your answers to these two questions.
- Project 3, which is still a few weeks away, requires you to provide your
own topic, and to prepare for this, you should consider and keep a file of
topics/questions that you might wish to tackle. What other "cultural truths"
might be called into question?
