This week, we will discuss Assignment 1 and start Assignment 2, which is due in class on September 5. Please read Chapter 10 of "The Gift of Fire" by Mary Jean Harrold. We will also have a quick quiz focused on understanding arguments. Questions will explore the definition, types, and essential components of an argument, as well as the distinction between truth-seeking and persuasion. Additionally, reflect on how to approach reading as both a believer and a doubter, and consider future situations where persuasive arguments will be necessary.
