  1. How is an argument made?

  2. Warm-Up • Today is Day 51, 12/2 2 sheets of paper • Do you like to spend time doing nothing? Why or why not? Write at least six sentences.” • Turn in any late work and/or extra credit work to the basket without socializing • Essays have not been graded yet

  3. “Argument and Persuasion” • Today we are beginning our unit, “Argument and Persuasion.” Over the next 2 weeks, we will analyze arguments, identify and practice types of persuasion, and write a persuasive essay. • During this time you will be reading Cry, the Beloved Country and completing your study guide outside of class. We will discuss and analyze the book in class, just not today.

  4. Arguments • “Like a pair of shoes, an argument may be constructed of high-quality parts, or it might be poorly made.” • Today, we will analyze the parts of an argument.

  5. Arguments • A CLAIM, which is the writer’s position on an issue • SUPPORT which include …that justify the claim • REASONS • EVIDENCE • COUNTERARGUMENT – a brief argument that negates objections to the claim that “the other side” is likely to raise.

  6. CLAIM REASON EVIDENCE REASONEVIDENCE REASON EVIDENCE

  7. Class Reading • Read “Doing Nothing is Something” on pp640-642 as a class.

  8. Pairwork In pairs, complete a graphic organizer using the template on the ppt. For Quindlen’s claim, identify at least three supporting reasons and three supporting examples, with proper citations (10 min)

  9. Counterargument • Now we are going to focus on the COUNTERARGUMENT – a brief argument that negates objections to the claim that “the other side” is likely to raise.

  10. Class Reading • Read “Abolishing the Penny Makes Good Sense” on pp648-650 as a class.

  11. Pairwork • In this article, Blinder presents and answers numerous counterarguments. Use the graphic organizer to identify three counterarguments presented by Blinder, and then explain how he refutes each counterargument. Use textual citations.

  12. Individual Response • Were you convinced by Quindlen’s argument? Explain why or why not. Use at least two references to the text and write at least eight sentences. • Blinder offers three counterarguments, but Quindlen does not explicitly. You will write an extension of her article. Identify three counterarguments that “the other side” might use to oppose doing nothing. Next, respond to those counterarguments. Write at least six sentences or make a table/outline.
