Assignment: Argument Free Introductory

Instructions

Course Objectives

1. Evaluate and analyze various forms of argument for rhetorical devices, fallacies, and possible pseudo-reasoning. (Evaluate)
2. Create an argument free from logical errors. (Create)

Description:

The goal for seven presentation is to use a well-structured argument to persuade the audience of what you believe to be the truth using evidence from authoritative, unbiased sources as justification. You will use one of the three types of argument discussed in week six, Classic, Toulmin, or Rogerian to present your case.

Note, you would do well to read the lesson from week six on these types of arguments before completing this assignment AND you will be free to modify your actual introduction to better align with your chosen type. A key graded component for each type of argument is producing a credible counterargument to your claim. If you cannot reasonably present a legitimate argument against your position, you need to rethink your topic. Rationally, if no one can argue against your position, there is no need for your argument.

Choose an issue you'd like to convince other people of and find resources that will be the foundation for the PowerPoint.

Here you will focus on ONLY the introductory paragraph and an annotated bibliography.

Part 1: Introduce your topic.

Using information from the textbook in chapters 5 and 6, as well as the lessons, write a proper introductory paragraph. This paragraph will contain your thesis and a rudimentary outline of your argument.

This is NOT a rough draft and writing more than the introductory paragraph will result in a loss of points for not following directions. One consideration here is to provide enough for the instructor to provide proper guidance on how to best complete the PowerPoint.

Part 2: "Annotated bibliography"

The goal here is to provide a proper reference in the chosen style for a minimum of three resources you plan to use in your argument. After providing that reference, provide a short description of the main points in the work AND how you intend to use that information in your PowerPoint. See the attached example for guidance.
