Label the fallacies using the names in our textbook, pp. 314-325 in the Logical Fallacies section of Chapter 19 “Advanced Modes of Argumentation.” (Again, page numbers may differ with older editions). For example, “Steven Rhoads appeals to tradition when he states, ‘…” BE SPECIFIC. Continue all the way to the end of the article. Don’t lose steam. Remember that there can be more than one fallacy even in a single sentence. Be as thorough as you can be. An introduction and conclusion are not necessary. This is a list with paragraphs of explanation. Watch the video lecture on “Victims from Birth” to see me teach how you find fallacies in an article.

Graff’s Template of Templates (on page 11 and page 751-752 of our anthology) gives you a good model of the way you might analyze the sources you have found for Essay 2 and of the way you can assert your own view of your topic.

Pick a topic in the food conversation, one that you researched for your sources last week.  Then use the templates to see how authors can disagree about the topic, and then make your own view more precise. Here’s an example: In discussion of food, a controversial issue has been whether processed food should be part of a healthy diet. On the one hand, Michael Pollan argues that we should avoid all processed food. From this perspective, we can eat all the “natural” dairy fat we want, but we should never have a Frito. Pollan quotes Gyorgy Scrinis’ words, on of this view’s main proponents, “the most important fact about any food is not its nutrient content but its degree of processing” (627).According to this view, all processed foods contribute to disease. In sum, the, the issue is whether we should eat “natural” foods or those that are processed to any degree. The next section is similar, but pertains to your own view.

For this assignment, you will write a 3-4 page Process Analysis Essay in which you explain the steps, procedures, and sequence involved in doing something.  The minimum length requirement for this assignment is 3 full pages.   As a topic, you will choose any process or action that you are interested in or knowledgeable about.  Your choices can include things like changing a car battery,  skiing down a mountain, baking a cake, hitting a baseball, building a bookshelf, or practically anything that requires directions, instructions, and a process of actions.  My only requirement is that the process you describe be legal.    Introduce your topic in the introductory paragraph and then include a thesis that establishes your position & purpose — in other words, what are you trying to show or illustrate here?  Why is your process analysis important?   Decide which steps to include. What information & steps will your readers need?  This is sort of like selecting your narrative sequence in the previous assignment.   Figure out your organizational structure.  Explain the process or action step-by-step.  Some processes or actions have clear & obvious chronological sequences.  Other times, you will have to come up with the sequence yourself.  Planning this organizational structure will also allow you to plan your body paragraphs.    Write 3-4 body paragraph in which you walk us through your process.  Use directional analysis for step-by-step instructions.  Use informational analysis to explain how something works or happens.  Describe and explain the sequence of events or actions involved in your process.  Be specific & detailed!      In the bodies, provide the audience with the help they need — this means that you might need to offer some background info, depending on how complicated your topic is.  It’s also important to warn readers about any challenges use clear verbs, transitional words & phrases that help readers follow the sequence of steps, and time signals like first, next, now, after, before & finally.   Write an appropriate concluding paragraph.  The conclusion should restate the process you’ve describe — don’t repeat them word for word, but summarize them briefly.  Then you should finish by driving home the significance of this process or action.    This assignment, just like all major essay assignments in this class, must be formatted according to current MLA standards.  This means double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 sized font, 1 inch margins, page numbers, and a proper heading at the top of the page.  You also must include an original title!  No Works Cited Page is necessary for this assignment, which means I don’t want you to do any outside research.  Everything should come from you.

Try to develop interesting ideas and deploy evidence and reason in pursuit of a well-written, well-argued, and intellectually powerful essay. This means that your goal should be to write a standard academic essay (introduction with a big idea or thesis; several topic paragraphs; conclusion) that reveals a comprehensive understanding of the issues and employs a wide range of evidence from a variety of time periods and regions as found in the assigned readings, videos, and other course materials. The Assignment: The United Nations has asked you to create an essay for an exhibit called “Five Noble Truths about Humanity” that reveals the finest, most noble aspects of being human as revealed in this history of our species up to about the year 1200 CE.  What are some of the greatest and best characteristics of humanity as seen in the record of our past during that period? But there is a twist: you need to include in your essay FIVE  images (anything that can be visually depicted, including symbols, photos, people, paintings, ideas, maps, charts, etc) related to the materials (readings, videos, web pages, etc) relating to the period up to about 1200 CE. If you cannot find an image of what you are looking for, or if for any reason working with images is difficult for you, you may describe what you have in mind. Do not limit your discussion only to these images, but use these images as a way to illustrate or represent the “Five Noble Truths about Humanity” that you have found as you explore human history up to about the year 1200 CE.  To find images you may only use any of our course materials and images from these three additional webpages: The British Museum website?https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection  (Links to an external site.)

As part of that essay, you will select FIVE images that illustrate or otherwise relate to your five truths.  3 .Copy and paste the images into your document, either in the text or at the end.  (The document must be accessible by Turnitin, so I recommend MS Word or Google, but see the syllabus for more on acceptable formats). 4. Please also include basic information for each image such as who, what, when, where, etc. You do not need to cite the source of the image. 5. You do not need to use a formal citation style, but if you do quote anything give then name of the person or source.
