Chapter 11
Chapter 11 tells us how we should organize our paper. This was very useful because I was having trouble deciding when I should use my opinion and when I should out my research in. It tell us four different types of arguments that you can use. I haven't quite decided which argument I am going to use. I still need to do more research before I decide that. The best part of the chapter was how to catch the audiences attention with your information. When I was writing my first paragraph I spent along time trying to thin of something to grab attention. After reading this I think I am going to be able to make a more interesting intro. I was struggling with how much actual information I should put in it with out putting into my intro with out ruining the rest of my paper.

i agree i think this chapter was very useful and is going to help with our papers!
ReplyDeleteI think that to make any argument more effective, you should have a balance of all three appeals in your paper.. because one creates emotion, one establishes your credibility as a writer and the other presents the reader with the logistics of your argument.
ReplyDeleteI think chapter 11 was a very helpful chapter in that organizing your arguments is a very important aspect of your paper. Your introduction is pretty important too. Use a question, quote, story, shocking fact or something people can relate to very well.
