1. Refresh on Steps 1-3 of Writing- remember their purpose? How does one link to the next? How does Step 3 help with other writing issues?
2. Look over your fallacies.. do you own them yet??
As I was reading the news this weekend... I found a couple of articles that I thought tied in pretty well to to our recent classroom discussions: Kansas Politics and Ebola Politics
Read through the articles and take notes at BOTH the examples of fallacies (and identify what type) and what you feel is the impact of fallacious writing- Just notes.
If you are still struggling with fallacies... here is a good two part article with commercials used to demonstrate the different types of fallacies: Fallacies Commercials Part 1 Fallacies Commercials Part 2 (Keep in mind.. I am not promoting political agendas or products.. it is a good tutorial)
3. Read through the following link on the difference between Persuasive and Argumentative writing: Persuasive V. Argumentative.. take good notes
This is a good chart to know to distinguish the difference: P V. A Chart
4. When you are done reviewing.. you need to read the two samples. In your notes, write down examples of the differences between the two samples. Point out specific examples... what they are doing and what the effect is..Persuasive and Argumentative article
