Lecture on writing argumentative essays ppt

Vu Phu

The document provides guidance on writing argumentative essays. It discusses choosing a debatable topic, developing a clear thesis statement, addressing counterarguments, and organizing the essay. The key points are: - Choose a topic that allows for reasonable arguments on both sides rather than being a statement of fact. A good thesis directly answers the assignment question with a clear position and forecast of evidence. - Anticipate opposing views and address them in the essay to demonstrate a well-rounded understanding and weaken those counterarguments. - The essay should be organized logically, either by refuting counterarguments before stating the thesis, or presenting the thesis and evidence first before addressing objections.

Chelsea Keeton ENC1102 Professor Stack 18 September 2018 1. Identify the text's a) purpose, b) main claim/thesis, c) community/discipline in which it's written, and d) target audience. a) The purpose of this article is to explain the effects of the media on the description of crime and how it can be portrayed by an entire civilization. Different factors such as statistics and the type of violence being reported can affect how the story is told and who comprehends it. b) The main claim in this article is that in Indonesia without judiciaries, the truth about violence is kept a secret from the families and “in the absence of a government and military regime fearful of allowing such a process, the 'truth' of violence as it is written today, by those inside and outside, will be critical for Indonesia's future”. In order for Indonesia to prosper they much know what to reveal about violence and crime that occurs in the community. c) The community that this is written about is the media, who influences the general public about what crime is happening. d) The target audience that this article is any adult who is fascinated with crime and the influence it can have on people. 2. Conduct an analysis of a) the reasons/grounds provided for the main claim b) the warrants, i.e., stated or unstated assumption/s that underlie the main claim, c) evidence/backing of the claim, i.e. additional support for the grounds of claims, such as use of examples, statistics used, etc., and d) any concessions and/or counterarguments (if the writer includes these). Ask yourself the following four questions in doing your analysis: · 1) What kind of support (such as appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility) is given? This article gives all of Jemma Purdey’s credible aspects at the beginning of the article. For example, “completed her PhD on anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia, 1996-1999, at the University of Melbourne. Her interests include representations of violence in Indonesia, human rights, and the legal position of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia today.” She uses ethical appeal when she says “ we should see our role as writers about violence as an 'effort to make others understand', in addition to understanding it ourselves (Taussig 2002:166)”. As a writer, one must know their res we should see our role as writers about violence as an 'effort to make others understand', in addition to understanding it ourselves (Taussig 2002:166) possibilities and what not to write. · 2) How effective is this support given by the writer? The support given Purdey gives is quite effective because she talks about multiple point of view. By doing this she can reach out to multiple audiences instead of narrowing it down to one age group. · 3) How strong are any of the concessions/ counterarguments? If there aren't any, does that weaken the argument? Why? There is many strong concessions about the write or wrong way to write about crime, specifically Indonesia. Even though “the Indonesi.

Scaffolding Persuasive Writing

Magda EnriquezBeitler

The document outlines the steps for persuasive writing: 1. Establish a situation by introducing the topic and your position on the topic. 2. Include pertinent evidence from research to support your position. 3. Create an organizing structure such as numbered paragraphs to develop your argument in a logical way. 4. Provide a sense of closure by restating your position and the main points that support it.

Introduction Your introduction should include the following: · Background information on the topic of your essay. This includes introducing key figures or concepts, as well as providing dates and locations to place your topic in an historical context. Do not assume that your reader knows the topic or the sources that you are using. Always fully introduce your sources, historical figures, and topics. · A thesis statement. A thesis statement is the argument that you will be proving in your paper. For example, do not make general statements such as, "Phillip II and Henry IV had many similarities and differences." A thesis is a very focused argument. A better thesis statement would be, "Henry IV and Phillip II both faced challenges to the stability of their kingdoms that developed from religious conflicts. While Henry IV was primarily concerned with domestic unrest, Phillip II faced these challenges in outlying regions of his kingdom." You can see that one is much more focused and specific in the points that it will prove in your essay. The following link provides some great information and demonstrates how to create a thesis statement: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/ 1. Body of Paper: The body of your essay should include the following: · Historical analysis. Do not simply provide a timeline of events or a list of facts. An historical essays analyzes these events and facts to create a strong argument that proves your thesis. · The most relevant and important information that you will use to prove your argument. Stay focused on the most important information and try to avoid including random facts that, while interesting, might not connect to, or be relevant to, your argument. · Historical details and examples. These are the building-blocks of your argument. You should include relevant dates, events, people, and examples to prove your thesis. · Sources. Your writing should include references to your sources and properly formatted footnotes or in-text citations. Avoid using lengthy quotes to insert historical information the majority of your writing should be your own, not quotes. General historical information can be related in your own words. Reserve direct quotes for examples that prove your point or to briefly relate the ideas of a source. Find a way to transition between your own writing and the quote to fluidly connect the statements. 2. Conclusion Your conclusion of your essay should do the following: · Draw together the points that you have raised in the essay. · Connect your points to a larger revelation about the topic that proves your thesis. · Avoid using overly general statements or making connections to our current time, unless the essay instructions specifically ask you to make this connection. For example, if you are writing an essay on women regents in Ancient Egypt, you would not end your essay with the statements, “Women have played major political roles throughout time. The position of female regents in .

Comparative Politics Second Term Essay Assignment (Worth 20 of Fi.docx

donnajames55

Comparative Politics Second Term Essay Assignment (Worth 20% of Final Grade): Due Date: March 8 Assignment: Answer one of the questions in essay format complete with a separate cover page and list of references. The essay must be typed, with normal margins, size-12 font, double-spaced, and stapled (please no paper clips). Be sure to include all the necessary information on your cover page (name, class number, essay title if desired, essay question number, student number, and date). The essay must be at least 8 pages long and no longer than 10 pages. You are expected to do your own research and provide references for any factual information used to support your arguments. You are also expected to use no less than 5 peer-reviewed sources in your essay. You can certainly use more sources to supplement your work (and I would heavily suggest that you do so). These sources must come from scholarly journals, published books, or anything of an equivalent legitimacy (NO WIKIPEDIA!!). Hint: use the likes of online databases like JSTOR to find relevant journal articles and books. You may use your textbooks or lecture notes if desired; however they will not count towards your 5 required sources. You can use any writing and citation style, so long as it is concise and includes the necessary information. Be as accurate as you can with your citations, and make sure you cite you work properly. Regardless of your style, I want page numbers (and even paragraph numbers if page numbers aren’t available) for relevant citations. Less-leniency will be provided for a lack of sources for claims in this assignment. Your own unique contribution to the essay is essential. Do not simply quote passages from the reading material or provide a descriptive summary of the literature. Be skillful in how you decide to approach the issue; what research you aim to use, and how you aim to utilize it; and make sure you argue your claims in an effort to persuade your reader (don’t assume your reader is naturally on your side). Questions: 1. The United States has such high levels of political polarization that it arguably hinders its role as an example for other liberal democracies to follow. Do you agree with this sentiment? Examine and compare another country’s experience with political polarization, and its effect on its democratic measures, society, and the ability to serve as an example for other democracies to follow. 2. Germany and Japan have unique defensive-minded mandates for their militaries following their actions in World War II. What role should the German and Japanese military have in the contemporary international realm? Is it time each pursued the ability to exercise their military-force akin to that of other sovereign, developed democracies? Does their history forfeit this right? Have they moved passed the need to operate an offensive military presence in the world? 3. France and the United States have been allies for a very long time. Despite the commo.
