Argument Abounds

Be prepared to be quizzed on chapters 10 and 11.  

Be prepared to turn in Reading Logs 9 and 10. The directions for Reading Log 10 are stated on the syllabus, but here is a more detailed version:

• READ the sample research paper, “The Big Barbie Controversy” (pages 368-378).
• NOTICE the marginal notations that provide details about proper formatting, organization, and support. Your final paper will look like this!!!
• ANSWER the questions on page 379, based upon the sample paper.

Also be prepared to turn in ALL missing work. Wednesday, March 7th, is the final day that late work will be accepted without penalty. After this date, ONLY work that constitutes a major portion of the course grade (5% or more) will be accepted late, and a penalty will be assessed of 1 full letter grade (10 points) for each late day. This is the policy listed in the syllabus.

As of Wednesday 3/7, you should have turned in the following for a grade:

• READING LOGS 1-10
• CLAIM DETECTION ESSAY
• LOGOS/ETHOS/PATHOS PROJECT
• TOULMIN #1
• TOULMIN #2
• ISSUE PROPOSAL
• 12 TESTS OF AN ARGUABLE ISSUE
• 4 QUIZZES (cannot be made up)

In addition, you have had the following extra credit opportunities:

• Extra quiz (on library presentation)
• Summary/Analysis of State of the Union Address
• Toulmin #3: The Anti-ad
• Various opportunities to earn points on quizzes/reading logs through extra effort and exceptional participation

I hope to have all of the above grades in and averaged by Friday 3/9 for progress reports. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your progress. Thanks!
