  6. Learning Targets • Demonstrate ability to synthesize • Show understanding and ability to properly document • Create a new argument of your own using research that includes a claim, logical reasoning, use of evidence, and addresses counterarguments

  7. Argument topic selection and response • Look over your seven choices. Select one. • Carefully read what is written there. • Type a response • Think on paper about the topic. • What position would you take? • What are your thoughts and/or connections to the topic? • Save it and print it. • Once you have done this – you have free time until all are finished. Be sure collage is finished and that Journals up through 8 are complete. • If you have the Retake review finished, please let one of us check it. Part B: 2 and 3 have two different types of errors.

  8. Claims and REASONS • Claim is your position on the topic. It may include a list of your reasons in it. • Schools should encourage the celebration of Halloween. • Solid, Defensible Reasons • Halloween is a fun celebration • Halloween costumes can be inappropriate and dangerous • The celebration of Halloween causes some to be excluded • Non-reasons; Not defensible • Candy sales are higher at Halloween than at any other time of the year. • (Reason could be – Halloween is economically beneficial or The sugar consumption at Halloween is harmful to children’s health.) • It is my opinion. • I wore a witch costume last year

  9. Evidence • What kinds of evidence might you find in research? • Examples • Be careful of generalizations • Be careful to understand what you use. • You may “know” evidence you may use? • Evidence from your own life, observation, or reading.

  10. Revisit RESPONSE • Highlight in blue – claim/thesis/position statement AND transfer to your plan sheet. • Highlight in yellow – 1st reason you give – transfer to your plan sheet. • Highlight in pink – 2nd reason you give – transfer to your plan sheet. • Highlight in green any counterargument information you might use.

  11. MOVE to Outline • Claim/Thesis • If you did not have one to transfer – write one in. • Move to Reason 1 section – write in a reason • Jot down any ideas you have for evidence – next to the boxes • Move to Reason 2 – write in a reason • Jot down any ideas you have for evidence.

  12. READ OPENING ARTICLE • Consider your position • Review your reasons • Read carefully for any ideas • Read specifically for evidence. • E1 – yellow – detail, sentence, statistic support reason 1 • E2 – pink – detail, sentence, statistic support reason 2 • R – orange – any new reasons you like • C – green – anything useful for discussing counterargument • ? Put a ?– anything confusing • Intro – blue – ideas for intro • Mark any other info you think might be useful for counterarguments – underline it, star it.

  13. Return to outline • Record any research you could use • Label it as Source A • Keep track of quotes – put “ “ around. • Be careful to note source – Source A. • If you find items for counterargument, makes notes in the box or at end of reasons. • If you find ideas for conclusion, note under C.A section.

  14. Discussion • Look at plan sheet. • What did you find to help you? • What are you still looking for? • Where can you tie in personal experience or observation? • Revisit topic– review opening audience and purpose.

  16. CRITICALLY THINK • Keep your claim in mind. Be sure you stated it clearly. I shouldn’t have to look at which topic you selected to understand it. • Focus on your reasons. • Make sure you understand evidence AND the evidence you find supports your point.
