Talking about Writing an Argument Presentation
This document provides an overview of a presentation on oral language strategies for writing arguments. It discusses the Story Grammar Marker and ThemeMaker methodologies and how they relate to the Common Core State Standards. Some key points covered include:
- The Common Core Standards are broken into categories like speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and these categories are interrelated.
- The speaking and listening standards focus on presenting knowledge and ideas with relevant details from kindergarten through 6th grade.
- The writing standards require more expository and opinion/argument writing as the grades increase, focusing on introducing claims, reasons, evidence, and conclusions.
- The presentation reviews strategies for teaching elements of argument like opinions, reasons
Argumentative essay (2)
(1) The document discusses the difference between arguments and opinions, noting that arguments require supporting evidence and reasoning while opinions do not.
(2) It also provides guidelines for writing arguments, including stating a claim, providing evidence for the claim, addressing objections, and concluding by re-evaluating the original position.
(3) An example is given of an argument responding to a claim that the English language is inherently racist based on meanings associated with words like "black" and "white." The example uses evidence to argue this is due to human metaphorical thinking rather than racism itself.
Rogerian argumentpp[1]
The document discusses three common approaches to argumentation - the Classical, Toulmin, and Rogerian approaches. It then focuses on explaining the key principles and structure of the Rogerian approach. The five key elements of a Rogerian argument are: 1) a brief, objective statement of the issue; 2) exploring common ground; 3) a complete description of the opposing position; 4) a complete description of your own position; 5) presenting a solution that considers both positions and finds compromise. The goal of the Rogerian approach is to have a less confrontational discussion through understanding different perspectives and finding common ground.

Critical Thinking - An Introduction
This summary provides an overview of critical thinking and how it has been defined by experts over the past 100 years:
1. Critical thinking has been studied formally for over 100 years, beginning with John Dewey's concept of "reflective thinking" which he defined as the careful consideration of beliefs and knowledge based on supporting reasons and implications.
2. Later experts like Edward Glaser and Robert Ennis built on Dewey's definition, emphasizing skills like reasoning, examination of evidence, and decision making.
3. Richard Paul's definition focused on "thinking about one's thinking" or metacognition, and aiming to improve the quality of thinking based on intellectual standards. Developing critical thinking requires consciously evaluating
Critical reading as reasoning
This document discusses developing reasoning and evaluative skills through group activities. It describes an activity where students are split into groups and each group must convince a judge of a position on different topics within a limited time. Examples of topics include the best movie genre for a family and whether fruits or chocolate is better for someone craving sweets. The document also provides guidance on formulating evaluative statements by making assertions about a text's content and properties and considering counterclaims with hedging language to soften criticisms.

a direct statement of your position
III. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
IV. Concede or refute opposing reasons or objections to your argument
V. Conclude:

Applying Toulmin Teaching Logical Reasoning And Argumentative Writing
The authors explain a method for teaching written argument they used successfully with alternative high school students. They began by having students watch and discuss the movie Stomp the Yard to develop their stances, evidence, and reasoning. The authors focused on teaching three key components of argument: stance, evidence, and warrant. For stance, they had students consider their point of view, claim, and request of readers. For evidence, they discussed credibility, sufficiency, accuracy, and order. Warrants proved most difficult for students to understand and write, as they require articulating implicit reasoning. One student, Adrian, struggled to represent his thinking in writing initially but showed improvement after conferencing. The authors found teaching logical reasoning and argument through this framework

Essay Specifics:
Before you begin writing your essay, it would help if you created an outline to follow. The type of outline you create will depend on whether your readers primarily agree or disagree with you. Below are two examples:
Readers Primarily Agree with You
Strengthen their convictions by organizing your argument around a series of reasons backed by supporting evidence or by refuting opposing arguments point by point.
I. Present the Issue
II. Provide a thesis statement -
a direct statement of your position
III. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
IV. Concede or refute opposing reasons or objections to your argument
V. Conclude:
Reaffirm your position
Readers Primarily Disagree with You
Begin by emphasizing common ground, and make a concession to show that you have considered the opposing position carefully and with an open mind.
I. Present the Issue:
Reframe the issue in terms of common values
II. Concede:
Acknowledge the wisdom of an aspect of the opposing position
III. Provide a thesis statement
- a direct statement of your position, qualified as necessary
IV. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
V. Conclude:
Reiterate shared values
Whatever organizational strategy you adopt, do not hesitate to change your outline as necessary while drafting and revising. For instance, you might find it more effective to hold back on presenting your own position until you have discussed unacceptable alternatives. or you might if find a more powerful way to order the reasons for supporting your position.

The document discusses Community of Philosophical Inquiry (COPI), an approach where students engage in philosophical discussion about questions arising from a stimulus. Research found that COPI improved students' cognitive abilities, critical reasoning, communication skills, self-esteem, and classroom behavior. It aligns with outcomes in the curriculum for subjects like Religious and Moral Education, Science, and Social Studies by developing skills like critical thinking, discussion, and evaluating sources of information. The document provides examples of open-ended questions and prompts to structure COPI discussions.
Eng 83 r toulmin's method of argumentationr
This document provides an overview of the Toulmin method of argumentation. It discusses the key components of an argument according to this method - the claim, qualifiers, exceptions, data (reasons), warrants/evidence, anticipated objections, and rebuttals. Students are instructed to read an article on euthanasia and then analyze it using the Toulmin framework during a one hour break. They will then return to class to discuss their analysis. Key philosophers and sources on argumentation are also cited. The document aims to teach students how to deconstruct arguments according to the Toulmin model.
Applying Toulmin Teaching Logical Reasoning And Argumentative Writing
The authors explain a method for teaching written argument they used successfully with alternative high school students. They began by having students watch and discuss the movie Stomp the Yard to develop their stances, evidence, and reasoning. The authors focused on teaching three key components of argument: stance, evidence, and warrant. For stance, they had students consider their point of view, claim, and request of readers. For evidence, they discussed credibility, sufficiency, accuracy, and order. Warrants proved most difficult for students to understand and write, as they require articulating implicit reasoning. One student, Adrian, struggled to represent his thinking in writing initially but showed improvement after conferencing. The authors found teaching logical reasoning and argument through this framework

Teaching About Controversial Topics
This document provides tips for teaching about sensitive topics (STDs) in the classroom in order to avoid controversy. It discusses establishing ground rules to ensure a safe and open learning environment, managing conflicts respectfully, and using strategies like debates, role-plays and problem-solving exercises to allow students to critically examine issues from multiple perspectives. The goal is for students to progress from dualistic to relativistic to committed thinking as they learn to thoughtfully discuss topics involving different values and interests.

American society places much emphasis on merit through work. Vacation periods in the U.S. are the shortest among industrialized nations. Many argue that advanced technology has only busied people’s lives further, instead of alleviating the time necessary to complete day-to-day tasks.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Communicating Negative InformationAs you .docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information
As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale.
Review the following scenario:
Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia.
Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively.
Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and YouEa.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You
Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.
Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.
For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:
Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
List any species that have become extinct in this biome.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Assignment 1 Discussion—A Life in ReviewIn late adulthood, most p.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review
In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.
Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.
Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:
What do you look forward to about getting older?
What would you most like to look back on?
How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?
Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan
An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution.
Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well:
What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)?
What within the work setting drives these behaviors?
What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees?

This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion:
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business.
Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003)

Summarize, with citations, at least four different definitions of terrorism.
Note

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Relativistic Thinking A New Perspective on.docx
- 1. Assignment 1: Discussion—Relativistic Thinking: A New Perspective on the World Children and adolescents tend to engage in so-called “black and white” thinking. In other words, they tend to judge people and situations in dualistic, rather than relativistic, terms. In early adulthood, individuals begin to reason about situations using a more flexible framework that helps them to resolve contradictions between different perspectives. Describe a situation in which you or someone you know has had to move beyond “black and white” thinking and has been able to develop a more relativistic perspective. Answer the following: What was it about the situation that challenged you or the other person to think more relativistically? How do you think people begin to respond to others differently once they begin to use relativistic thinking? Support your arguments with research, citing sources. Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Friday, August 29, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, September 3, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Ask a question, remark on an analysis presented, or suggest an alternative view. Be sure to formulate a thoughtful and substantive response.
