Module 7 Discussion Board Algebra1. What does it mean when s.docx

Module 7 Discussion Board Algebra 1. What does it mean when something grows or decays exponentially? How is that different then rising or falling linearly? 2. Give an example of a real life application of exponential growth or decay. Include the link to a website to show this. Please answer as two different posts. You need three posts for full credit. When you reply to others in the class, your replies should contain original thought and/or a follow up question. Classical Argument Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts. Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic. Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive). Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader. Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

Argument paper/English 1 Spring 2014 Argument Assignment Paper.doc PAGE English 1: Argumentative Essay Assignment The Assignment: Write a six-to-ten page argument paper that addresses a current issue that will address our theme of the impact of technology on communication on ourselves, on our world and on what it means to be human (Barrios, 583). The topic and the issue for this paper is the same as your exploratory paper assignment. The purpose of this paper is to present your position on the issue and then argue why by presenting your own reasons and evidence to support your thesis statement. Locating Sources for Research. The purpose of the exploratory paper was to explore different writers and their position, their perspective, and the types of evidence they used in order to form your own position and perspective. You have three sources that you may use in your paper. For this paper, you must include a variety of sources; they cannot all come from Web sites. Search SMC’s library online catalog, search for a book, search online databases, find newspaper articles, use the search engine Google scholar at www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com . In addition, observations or experience from your personal life are not allowable. Refer to the following handouts: “Research Guide for Papers,” “Sources Acceptable for Academic Papers.” Both of these handouts are on eCompanion. If you include an article from a Website, there must be a date and a sponsor/publisher. If this is not available you cannot use this source. Thesis Statement and Claim: Does your thesis clearly include a claim? Is it arguable? Does it take a perspective on an issue? Is it narrow and specific enough for the length of this assignment? Is it focused on one subject? Is it a claim of policy where you argue that certainpolicies should be changed? Is it a claim of value where you argue that some action, belief, or policy is morally wrong, good, or bad? Once your claim is clear, you must develop reasons that match and correspond to the type of claim being made. Audience/Point of View: An effective argument is tailored to its audience. The reasons and the types of evidence you offer, the needs and values to which you appeal, terms defined, all depend on your audience and the type of claim. Ask: What does your audience know or not know about your topic? The audience is your instructor and classmates. Never assume that the audience is familiar with your topic or terms. You may need to include definitions and relevant details to help the audience understand your position in the first body paragraph. For this argument essay, you will use only the third-person point of view. No, “I” “We” or “You.” Content/Body Paragraphs. For the length of this assignment, you should have at least three-to-four distinct and relevant reasons to support your thesis. Follow the guidelines for writing the argument paper when developing your reasons. Use the “because” clause approach.

ENG 111 Writing and Inquiry Public Piece Project Background Throughout this course, we have been examining how audiences are persuaded by various styles, rhetorical appeals, and ways of presenting information based on their specific needs and expectations. For this final major component of the semester, you will be taking the argument of your research paper and restructuring in a creative and purposeful way for a new audience. How to Approach the Assignment 1. Audience. Consider your research paper argument. Who would benefit from knowing the information you learned in your research? Choose a new audience for your focus. 2. Purpose. Once you have your audience in mind, what purpose do you have in connecting with them? What information from your research do you want them to know and what would you encourage them to do with it? 3. Genre. Choose a medium for presenting your research argument to your audience. How you choose to restructure your argument is a vital part of this assignment. Make sure the genre you choose has value and purpose for the audience. Possible public pieces include: brochure, public service announcement, commercial, magazine article, newspaper editorial, letter, podcast, original poetry/music, video, poster presentation, etc. Creativity is encouraged as long as it thoughtfully conveys your argument! Note: PowerPoint presentations are not allowed, because they are evil. 4. Create. Compose/create a high quality, professional product. Any scripts, transcripts, or other written components should accompany the actual product. Documents, videos, and images will be uploaded to Blackboard. 5. Presentation. Near the end of the course, you will present your argument to the class, briefly. You will need to discuss what your argument is, the audience you chose, and how your public piece connects effectively with the audience. You may choose to present your actual piece as if the class is your intended audience. Grading Criteria Your public piece will be graded based on how well you do the following: · Demonstrate that the audience is appropriate for the topic/argument · Demonstrate that the medium of the public piece is effective for your audience · Connect your public piece content to your research paper argument · Create a professional, appealing product · Present your ideas in an engaging and articulate manner ENG 111 Writing and Inquiry Rhetorical Analysis Essay For this assignment, you will craft an essay that analyzes and evaluates two news articles that discuss the same topic from two different perspectives. For instance, think of a current issue and find an article that focuses on the pros of this issue and one that focuses on the cons of this issue. Your essay will examine the rhetorical context (author, audience, topic, purpose) as well as the strategies used to convey its message (diction, tone, evidence, imagery, and rhetorical appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos). Since you are comparing two arguments, yo.

Classic Model for an Argument No one structure fits all wr

VinaOconner450

Classic Model for an Argument No one structure fits all written arguments. Below is a basic outline for an argumentative or persuasive essay. The major sections can be reversed, starting with refuting opposition and ending with reasons for your position. Let your topic help guide you. This is only one possible outline or organization. Remember that an emphatic structure works for many arguments, although a chronological or cumulative approach could also work. I. Introduction o Your introductory paragraph sets the stage or the context for the position you are arguing for. Consider the techniques we covered in class: anecdote, quotation, dramatic fact, etc. o This introduction should include the thesis statement that provides the claim (what you are arguing for). A. Your thesis: 1. states what your position on an issue is-NO FIRST PERSON-NO ANNOUNCEMENTS 2. usually appears within the introduction 3. should be a declarative sentence and often contains emphatic language (should, ought, must) B. Sample Argumentative Thesis 1. The production, sale, and possession of assault weapons for private citizens should be banned in the U.S. II. Background Information A. This section of your paper gives the reader the basic information he or she needs to understand your position, including important theories or terms. B. This could be part of the introduction, but may work as its own section or be incorporated within the essay as needed. III. Your Position o All evidence you present in this section should support your position. This is the heart of your essay. Each supporting paragraph should have a topic sentence that clearly relates to the thesis. Remember to balance “telling” (explanation of your point) and “showing” (evidence for that point). Remember the three primary appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos. o Types of evidence include: · primary sources – interview with someone who works or studies in the field, original documents such as laws, census data etc., and surveys. · Opinions/observations from recognized authorities · Statistics, studies, published research A. Keeping assault weapons out of private citizens’ hands can lower the increasing occurrences of barbaric public slayings 1. Newtown Elementary mass shooting 2. Columbine School Shooting 3. Virginia Tech shooting 4. How did these individuals gain access to weapons? B. The ban on assault weapons is backed heavily by public opinion, major organizations, and even law enforcement. 1. 12% favor ban (Much 92 Timetable News) 2. Organizational endorsements 3. Nat'l Sherriff's Assoc./lntn'l Assoc. of Police Chiefs C. The monetary and human costs incurred by crimes committed with assault weapons are too great to ignore. 1. 10,561 murders in 1990 by handguns 2. Study of 131 injured patients’ medical expenses paid by public funds IV. Addressing the Opposite Side o Any well-written argument must anticipate and addre ...

VannaSchrader3

Mapping the Issue For your Issue Proposal, you organized your preexisting knowledge on your issue and sketched a plan for research. You then compiled several sources and summarized their contents for your Annotated Bibliography. For this paper, you will map the controversy surrounding your issue by describing its history and summarizing at least three different positions on the issue — all from a completely neutral point of view. Your audience will be UTA students, faculty, and staff who read a (fictitious) UTA periodical that offers analysis and commentary about politics, news, and culture. Before people can make an informed decision on a controversial issue, they must know the history of the controversy and the range of positions available. Major news organizations often in form their readers of public controversies by providing a neutral, unbiased description of an issue’s history and the main arguments made on all sides, and academic organizations often map field - specific controversies in order to provide researchers with a n overview of unsettled questions and unsolved problems. Invention In rhetorical studies, invention refers to the systematic search for ideas that can be shaped into an effective composition. (The term “prewriting” is sometimes used to refer to the concept of invention.) This section of the assignment, then, is designed to help you generate the required content for your Mapping paper. Please note that the following steps are not intended to serve as an outline for your paper. Rather, these steps will help you produce the “raw materials” that you will then refine into a well - organized paper, and these steps are likely to produce more material than you can actually use in the draft you submit to readers. 1. Readers will need to have some background information on your issue in order to understand how the controversy reaches its current state. Draft answers to the following questions: • What caused the issue? • What prompted past and present interest in it? • Who is interested in the issue and why? 2. Readers w ill also want to know the current, major positions on the issue, so reflect on the titles in your Annotated Bibliography, draft descriptions of 3 - 5 different positions, and identify which articles in your bibliography advocate the positions you’ve described. 3. Now that you’ve drafted descriptions of the background and major positions on your issue, draft a more detailed description of one position: • What are the main claims of those who advocate this position? • What reasons do they provide for those claims ? • What evidence do they use to support their reasons? • What assumptions underlie their arguments? 4. Once you have described the position’s argumentative structure, summarize at least one source from your Annotated Bibliography that advocates this position. 5. Repeat inventional steps three and four with a second position. Additionally, draft a ...

What is an Exploratory PaperExploratory Argument In explorat.docx

alanfhall8953

What is an Exploratory Paper? Exploratory Argument: In exploratory essays, the writer (you) explores three sources that take a position on a controversial issue. All three sources can take the same side of the issue or two can take the same side and one can be on the other side of the issue. For example, take this issue: “Should there be stricter copyright penalties on the Internet? For instance, all three sources explored may argue that once a person uploads a photograph on, for example, flickr.com, it becomes public domain and no copyright laws should apply. The sources explored will argue on the same side of the issue, they all answer the issue question: yes. Yet, they will present evidence that will align with their different perspectives. For example, one source may take a legal perspective and the evidence will come from legal sources; another source may take a psychological perspective and their evidence to support their position will come from psychological studies, etc. In addition, the sources must come from a variety of secondary sources: scholarly journals, magazines, and/or newspapers, and the sources cannot be all Websites. The Purpose In the exploratory paper, the writer identifies three sources that take the same side of the issue; this means, for each source, their thesis statements/claims are the same. In order to help the reader (students, instructor) understand each source’s argument, the writer, (you) will include a brief 2-3 sentence summary for each source that includes the writer’s thesis/claim and the reasons provided to support his or her perspective. Also, this will include an analysis of how well the reasons and evidence support their position and their perspective. This requires specific references from the work in the form of direct quotations. This last part is important. Your own opinions are not expressed at all. This is not an argument paper. Advantages to Writing an Exploratory Paper Exploratory papers have a number of advantages. When you view an issue from many perspectives, you gain a greater depth of understanding of it and the various views taken. Also, exploratory papers provide mutual understanding and common ground for you next stage in argument: writing your own argument paper. These sources can be used to support your side to an issue or they may be used as an opposing view to your own position. After exploring sources on an issue, you learn about the other positions on this controversial issue. How to Write the Exploratory Paper The exploratory framework appears on eCompanion in the folder marked: “Exploratory Paper Assignment.” This handout basically lays out the format for each body paragraph. Also, there is a student sample essay that explores the issue: Should biotechnology be banned in U.S. sports?

· NOTE: Essay # 2 should combine the strategies you have learned in both Chapters 9 & 10 (convincing and persuading). This essay is worth 150 points. General essay requirements: · Margins: 1 inch (top, bottom, sides) · Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt. · Line spacing: Double-space EVERYTHING (extra line spaces between paragraphs and other sections of the paper is incorrect). NOTE: the sample student essay (Pp. 202- 205) is NOT double-spaced; editors single-space to save paper and pages. ALWAYS use the sample MLA research paper on pp. 157-166 as your model for your essays. · MLA in-text citations should be used EVERY time material from a source is used—this includes references to material and paraphrases of material as well as direct quotes (See “Research & Writing Resources” on the Course Home page) · MLA Works Cited Page: see MLA guide under “Research & Writing Resources” on the Course Home page (the Works Cited page is always the last page of the essay, but it DOES NOT count as one in the required page length of the essay · MLA formatting guidelines: see the sample MLA research paper on Pp. 157-166 in your text book—use it as a model for your essays in this class. Pay attention to and follow the marginal guidelines Essay # 2 Guidelines: Arguing to Convince & Persuade: · This essay is based on Chapters 9 & 10 of the textbook. · Make a case—write an argumentative essay that seeks to convince your audience of the validity of your position, and that persuades them to accept your claim. Your goal is to win the assent of readers—to influence readers. Limit the focus of your essay to a topic that can be fully developed in a six page essay—see “Topic and Focus” (P. 224) · Additionally, you must also make a special effort to appeal to your audience through character, reason, and emotion (ethos, logos, pathos) · Identify the specific audience you address in your essay (senior citizens, students, American voters, artists, etc). In the header of your essay—below the date—identify your audience. Make sure to read the audience analysis information (Pp. 210-211, 225). · Use the SAME subject (from Parts III and IV of the text, Pp. 307-590) as you used in Essay # 1. · You must incorporate material from THREE of the readings associated with your chosen subject (from Parts III or IV) into your essay—paraphrases, direct quotes, and references. · In addition, you must use material from at least TWO library sources (books or articles from the library databases—see end of document). If you fail to use material from three text book readings and two library sources as source material for your essay, you will earn a failing grade for the essay. Likewise, your grade will suffer if you use the source material in a superficial way, for example if you simply use one direct quote from each of the readings. · Carefully review Chapters 6 and 7. · The essay must be at least six FULL pages in length (a Works Cited page is required, but it does NOT count in the.
