CRITIQUE THE BEATLES’ POSITION AS THE MOST IMPORTANT ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME.

4 – 6 pages, typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman. Must be handed in hard copy—so make arrangements now. MLA format.

FIRST: Establish your argument (they are most important; they are important, but not the most important; their cultural significance is overrated; they are the worst band of all time). There are FOUR theses here—choose ONE. Remember, you will have to prove this argument with scholarly evidence.

NEXT: Summarize what you have learned about the Beatles from Rock: Music, Culture, and Business. Use quotes and citations from the text.

THEN: Find at least FOUR important points to prove your argument. This is your own, private research, done through readings and video interviews/ documentaries. You must provide an MLA-style Works Cited at the end of your paper, proving the credibility of your research.

AFTER: Analyze one song, showing how this song emphasizes your position.

FINALLY: Cement your position; show your final proof why you believe this to be true.

Finish with Works Cited.
