Requirements<\/div>\n
This essay will be approximately 2 pages, and any essays that do not meet the requirement will lose points. Create a properly formatted works cited page, and correctly use in-text citations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Writing Task<\/div>\n
Our textbook states in Chapter 5, \u201cOnce we\u2019ve assessed the quality of another person’s argument, there is an opportunity to take our reflection a step further.\u201d For this midterm, you will be doing just that. Pick one text from this unit, and write a response that takes the author\u2019s argument a step further. Some strategies for crafting a response include:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Add to the sense of urgency about the argument with our own explanation for why it matters.<\/div>\n
Recommend ways to draw attention to the issue.<\/div>\n
Suggest that the argument has implications even beyond what the writer discusses.<\/div>\n
Remove limitations on the argument to make a broader claim.<\/div>\n
Argue that the argument’s claim points us toward a particular course of action.<\/div>\n
Call for clarification, more support or inquiry, or a middle ground on the topic.<\/div>\n
Tips<\/div>\n
Reading Chapters 5 and 7 from How Arguments Work will be crucial to your success.<\/div>\n
Use quotes correctly (review LECTURE: Paraphrasing and Using Quotes and Chapter 7.7).<\/div>\n
Even though you are stating your opinion, do not use first person.<\/div>\n
Suggested Outline<\/div>\n
Introduction. See Chapter 7.1 for tips on writing a conclusion.<\/div>\n
A good thesis will craft a clear response to the author\u2019s argument and present a rationale for your response. You may use the template below:<\/div>\n
[Author] argues\/clarifies\/points out [author\u2019s argument], and\/but\/so [your response] because [rationale].<\/div>\n
EXAMPLE: Mitsuye Yamada points out that silence is extremely harmful for minorities, and this argument must be addressed in schools today because discrimination runs rampant. <\/div>\n
Body #1: Summarize the author\u2019s argument in detail <\/div>\n
Body #2: Create your response that takes their point a step further<\/div>\n
Conclusion. See Chapter 7.8 for tips on writing a conclusion.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
