Your essay should include a strong thesis where you establish your position, preview the organization of your essay, and list the main points that support your argument. It should contain an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.

You will want to consider which form of organization will be appropriate for your argument. Your reasons must be arranged in some logical order. They must also be fairly well constructed. If they are easily dismissed or do not address any questions that may result from their mention, you will have to strengthen or support such claims. Your paragraphs must also have good flow between them, which is facilitated by transitions. Finally, be sure that the mechanics of your paper are correct. Punctuation, spelling, and grammar will count. Sources are not necessary, but if you look up outside information you must cite correctly in MLA format.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review this week’s readings, guidance, and announcements, including You’re Not Going to Believe What I’m About to Tell You  (Links to an external site.) . Reflect on what you found interesting, surprising, or confusing. Here we examine cultures and how they affect the way people do what they do. Sometimes, this will mean looking more closely at our own culture to understand how the different concepts we are reading about in the textbook apply to us. Some of the ideas we are going to talk about may conflict with your own beliefs, preconceptions, and ideas. Please resist the urge to respond with your preconceived ideas! Instead, try to look at the information as an anthropologist would. Look at the information in the textbook and other required resources. Consider why the other side might believe or act as they do. You do not have to agree with them—just try to understand their perspective. This discussion forum is an opportunity for you to explore topics that interest you, share critical insights and questions that you are working with, share your struggles and triumphs, and discuss difficulties that may have arisen this week. Your initial post should describe your experiences in the course this past week, prompting further discussion. Address at least two of the following questions: Was there anything that caused you to view the world around you differently or examine a topic from a different perspective? What struck you in particular as you explored the course materials this week? Do you have questions that your classmates might be able to help you with? (If you have a question for the instructor, be sure to contact your instructor via email). Review You’re Not Going to Believe What I’m About to Tell You  (Links to an external site.)  and consider the material you examined for this week’s discussion. What information did you encounter this week that caused mental friction for you? Why do you think it caused mental friction? Were you able to overcome the backfire effect?

Read Praxis, p 99, Logical Fallacies Complete Activity 3.9 on pg. 103.  Write your answers and an explanation of how you came up with your answers. Chapter 3 PAGE (((((99))))))))): Persuading Rhetorically Particular statement: Microwaves cook popcorn more quickly than conventional heat. General statement: All foods cook more quickly in a microwave. In the first example, inductive reasoning works well because cold tends to pro- long the useable life of most perishable foods. The second example is more problematic. While it is true that popcorn cooks more quickly in a microwave oven, the peculiarities of microwave interaction with food molecules does not produce a uniform effect on all food stuffs. Rice, for example, does not cook much, if any, faster in a microwave than it does on a stovetop. Also, whole eggs may explode if cooked in their shells. A good inductive argument is known as a strong (or “cogent”) inductive argu- ment. It is such that if the premises are true, the conclusion is likely to be true. Logical Fallacies Generally speaking, a logical fallacy is an error in reasoning, as opposed to a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. A deductive fallacy (sometimes called a formal fallacy) is a deductive argument that has premises that are all true, but they lead to a false conclusion, making it an invalid argu- ment. An inductive fallacy (sometimes called an informal fallacy) appears to be an inductive argument, but the premises do not provide enough support for the conclusion to be probable. Some logical fallacies are more common than others and, thus, have been labeled and defined. Following are a few of the most well-known. Activity 3.9 PAGE 103 • Identify Logical Fallacies Match the following types of logical fallacies with the examples below. Types: Ad hominem Begging the question Confusing cause and effect Post hoc Straw man Slippery slope  types. Ad hominem (Latin for “to the man”) arguments attempt to discredit a point of view through personal attacks upon the person who has that point of view. These arguments are not relevant to the actual issue because the character of the person that holds a view says nothing about the truth of that viewpoint. Example: Noam Chomsky is a liberal activist who opposes Ameri- can intervention in other countries. Examples: 1. Legalization of medical marijuana will lead to increased marijuana use by the general population. 2. Twenty-one is the best age limit for drinking because people do not mature until they are 21. 3. If you teach birth control methods, more teenage girls will get pregnant. 4. The culture wars of the 1960s were a result of parents being unable to con- trol their children after the post–World War II baby boom. 5. Al Gore claims that climate change is a dangerous trend. Al Gore is a liberal. Therefore, there is no climate change. 6. Immigration reform advocates want to separate families and children

In this unit, you will practice applying the skills of analysis to the literary texts assigned.  When reading the stories, keep in mind the rhetorical elements of fiction: point of view characterization setting symbolism elements of plot (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution) language, tone, and style theme All of these aspects help to create meaning for the reader.  Which rhetorical element creates the greatest meaning?  That is the element that you will want to address in your analysis essay. The analysis essay does not require outside research.  As a matter of fact, please avoid using outside sources (these usually cause issues with plagiarism in the essays). The analysis essay is merely a “reader response” essay.  State your claims about the text using only evidence from the story to support your points.  The essay only needs to be about two pages in length. *All essays must be formal, so do not use 1st or 2nd person or contractions.  And, the essay should have a Work Cited page with only the short story listed. The author’s full name and the title of the short story should be in the introductory paragraph. (Titles of short stories should be in quotation marks, not italics.) Write an essay of 500-750 words on the use of a single literary device (from the list of terms in the Learning Activities folder) used within one of the short stories you read for this lesson. Be sure to:  Include an alphanumeric outline. Use MLA format. Include a Works Cited page. Create the essay with the understanding that this is not a book report. Don’t summarize the story, as that is only appropriate for a sentence or two in the introduction. Tell me how a literary device was used in the story. Cite examples from the story in support of your argument using proper MLA format (quotations for direct citations, as well as parenthetical references for both these and paraphrases). Check the syllabus for the due date. The short story I Used was The Necklace.

Your topic should be a narrative essay you retell, a specific event that happened in your life. That event should be something that you can convey in a 3-4 page essay; so, if you’re thinking you could write about your 5-year relationship with your mother, well, that would just be too long, yes? Instead, focus on one event with your mother, one snapshot of your relationship. Got it?   Remember your audience. If you are writing a story just for you, you are considering only 50% of your audience—the other 50% includes the people who will be reading your draft:  your peers and your instructor. So, choose your topic based on something we all might like to read, and something you could discuss openly with all of us.   Use descriptive techniques, evoking sights, sounds, and smells, as applicable.   Incorporate dialogue into your essay. Review those essay examples included with this module and consider how dialogue helps create the setting and highlight the most important parts of the narrative.
