SPECIFICALLY for JCHS on Monday, 9/30/13

From text and essay:

1.       Explain the difference between argumentation and persuasion.
2.       Is Carr’s essay an argumentative or persuasive essay? How can you tell?
3.       What is the purpose of an argumentative essay?
4.       What is the structure of an argumentative essay?
5.       How well does Carr’s essay follow this structure?
6.       Where does the thesis or claim in an argumentative essay come? What is Carr’s thesis?
7.       How can writing an antithesis assure that you’ve written a thesis for an argumentative essay?
8.       Compose your own antithesis for Carr’s essay.
9.       There are two types of evidence for argumentative essays—facts and opinions; however, what criteria must all evidence possess.

10.   What types of evidence (I wrote “criteria” on the board—sorry!) does Carr use? Does his evidence meet the requirements established in the text?
