Lecture note

In English Composition l, you learned how to analyze an argument for effectiveness, specifically flavor at the use of logos ( logic), ethos (credibility), and pathos (emotion). This week, youll learn how to craft your give birth arguments. Starting with this weeks Discussion, well take a closer look at constructing logic (logos), which Includes using both deductive and inductive reasoning.With inductive reasoning, you move from a et of specific examples to a general statement, making the inductive leap from certainty to generalization (Rosa & School, 2012, p. 540). For instance, after looking at a months worth of gross revenue receipts, you could determine that Saturday afternoons are when most patrons prefer to shop in your store. deductive reasoning moves from a general statement to a specific deduction and works from the model of a syllogism, a three-part argument that consists of a major(ip) infix, a shaver premise, and a conclusion (Rosa & School, 2012, p. 0). Please note that in order to accept your conclusion/argument, your audience should accept the major and minor premises as truths. See the below example, which could be the start of mavin argument In support of a vegetarian diet Major premise Beef contains cholesterol. Minor premise Too much cholesterol Is distressing for ones health. Conclusion To remain in good health, people should eat little beef. For the Discussion this week, youll practice creating argumentative statements, including your own syllogism.In this weeks Assignment, youll take it a smell further and write detailed and supported arguments, either for or against the dissertation of a professional essay. This will be the first draft of your tax deduction Essay, which youll revise in Week 4. Its important to remember that in a Synthesis Essay, you need to add something new-fashioned to the conversation. You start with existing friendship on an Issue (in this case, a professional essay), and then create new knowledge (your a rgument), making unique and Insightful points. Objective(s)
