Explain whether or not you agree with the argument you have chosen. Again, be sure to give reasons to support your view.
In your Argument Analysis, you will do two things: first, you will explain an argument from one of the assigned readings, and next, you will evaluate that argument. For each due date.
Your aim in this assignment is, first, to explain the chosen argument clearly and accurately, and second, to give a clear and credible reason as to why you think the argument succeeds or fails. To do this, your Argument Analysis should follow a very specific outline, given below:
1. Opening paragraph a. In a sentence or two, state the argument you are analyzing. Be sure to state the text the argument comes from. b. In a sentence, state your article. Be sure to use the first-personal voice.
2. Second paragraph a. Explain the argument you are analyzing in detail. Be sure to explain the reasons the author gives in support of their conclusion. Also, be sure to give a citation every time you quote, summarize, or paraphrase the text.
3. Third paragraph a. Explain whether or not you agree with the argument you have chosen. Again, be sure to give reasons to support your view.
4. Concluding paragraph. a. In a sentence or two, state what you have argued. Be sure it’s the same thing you said you would argue in your opening paragraph!
