This week, we'll be sharing drafts of your Persuasive Writing and Counterargument Case Study in a class peer review. In order to make this process run smoothly, please be sure to follow the instructions noted below.
In your initial posting, explain the current state of your draft, your plans to add content, and your revision plans. If you have specific questions for the peers who will review your assignment or want to provide them with any additional information, please do so in your initial post.
Attach your current draft to your initial post; ideally, your rough draft. This must be completed no later than Tuesday night. No matter how rough your rough draft is, submit what you have by Tuesday night. The reason this is so important is that if you don't submit your draft on time, your fellow students can't complete their task of providing you feedback on time either.
Find the two peers who have posted after you in terms of time. Read their attached drafts and any notes they left to accompany the draft.
Download the Week 6 Peer Review Checklist/Worksheet (Links to an external site.). Complete the form separately for each of the two peers whose drafts you will be reviewing.
Using the Peer Review Worksheet, provide thoughtful feedback to each of your peers separately. This must be completed no later than Friday night so that students can incorporate your feedback into their finished presentations.
Continue to check into your group discussion area in the event your peers pose any follow-up questions.
Over the next several weeks, you will be developing an analysis of a case study of your choice. The first step is to analyze a debatable claim. You will select a scholarly article from a reliable source that relays a strong position on a debatable topic. Be sure to record the full APA data, including title, author, and publication information.
Remember, although you are investigating an opinionated piece, your selected article should still come for a reputable publishing source and be well-researched.
In a four- to five-page analysis, address the following in a well-developed and structured essay.
Provide a clear and detailed introduction.
What is the topic and why is it important?
What are the multiple sides of the debate?
What is your thesis or point of view on the topic?
Summarize the topic/angle/purpose.
What is the topic of the article?
What is the angle or argument that the writer presents?
What is the purpose of the article? What does the writer want the audience to do with the information they are presented with?
Analyze rhetorical appeals.
How does the author use appeals to reason (logos)?
How does the author use appeals to emotion (pathos)?
How does the author use appeals to credibility (ethos)?
What appeals are used most effectively? What is the impact on the argument?
Provide a counterargument.
What are the opposing arguments to the argument?
What are some reasons why the argument is incomplete or illogical?
What are some examples or forms of evidence that show why or how the counterargument is incomplete or illogical?
What are the reasons why the original argument is stronger?
Explain your position.
What is your evaluation of the issue?
How does utilizing a counterargument make your analysis stronger?
Remember, you must include detailed examples and analysis to help support your claims. Select your topic wisely and be sure to address each part of the prompt as this assignment will be used for your Week 7 Persuasive Presentation.
