Argument Abounds

Remember to bring the draft of your Rogerian Assignment on Friday, 3/30.

As we discussed in class today, please be curteous to your peer reviewers by typing your draft (double-spaced), and by bracketing and labeling (in pencil or pen) the following major parts of your paper in the margin:

1. Restatement of Opposing Position (this is the position held by the author to whom you are writing the letter)
2. Agreement with Opposing Position
3. Transition to 2nd Position (this is most likely the position that you hold, but remember that you don’t HAVE to claim it as your own… you can keep the “some people believe” stance if you like)
4. Statement of 2nd Position
5. Agreement with 2nd Position
6. Resolution

Remember that the peer review and self-assessment are part of the process grade, so to avoid losing points, you need to be in class prepared with a draft. If unavoidable circumstances prevent your attendance, you may print the review forms and have the peer review done in the writing center instead. If you choose to do this, however, you will still miss the grade from Friday’s daily activity.

Having said this, here are the forms:
