The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to practice the most important step of the writing process: the revision process.<\/p>\n
Task<\/p>\n
Revise and resubmit the argumentative draft you turned in last week. Keep in mind the difference between revision and\u00a0proofreading and\u00a0note this is a revision assignment.\u00a0Take note of the instructor comments on your draft submission and revise your paper as needed. When revising, keep in mind the purpose, audience, and rhetorical expectations of this\u00a0particular mode.\u00a0In this case, the rhetorical mode is the classical argument, so\u00a0refer to the task items from the draft assignment prompt and the lecture for the rhetorical expectations of this essay type. Here is a great, brief\u00a0resource\u00a0(Links to an external site.)\u00a0from the Purdue Online Writing Lab that breaks the revision process down into manageable steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Format<\/p>\n
Your revised\u00a0draft should be\u00a0at least\u00a01,000\u00a0words. Also, after revising your\u00a0essay,\u00a0write a paragraph explaining the revisions you made to your draft from last week; mention both global and local revisions.\u00a0(This paragraph does not count toward your word count. Your essay needs to be at least 1,000 words!)\u00a0Add this to the end of the essay and label it “Revision Explanation.”\u00a0Turn in your\u00a0revised paper to the appropriate assignment tab in\u00a0Canvas. Your paper should be in standard\u00a0APA\u00a0format.<\/p>\n

Suggested Organization for a Classical Argument\u00a0<\/p>\n
Introduction:\u00a0Give the context and background of your issue. Establish style, tone, and significance of your issue.<\/p>\n
State your case:\u00a0Clarify your issue here. Give any necessary background for understanding the issues. Define any important terms or conditions here.<\/p>\n
Claim:\u00a0State your central claim. Be sure that your hook presents an issue that\u00a0is open to debate. Present the subtopics or supportive points to forecast your argument for your reader.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Respond to counterarguments:\u00a0Analyze the opposition’s arguments and summarize them fairly. Refute or address the points, point out faulty reasoning and inappropriate appeals, or concede points. Then shift to a different field of values (here your position is strong) and argue for those new values.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Substantiation and proof:\u00a0Present and develop your own case. Carefully plan your disclosure; avoid logical fallacies. Rely primarily on reasoning for your appeal and use emotional appeals carefully. Use examples, facts,\u00a0experts, and statistics. Develop your argument using the appropriate prose strategy (e.g., causal analysis, comparison, analogies, definitions).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Conclusion:\u00a0Conclude with conviction. Review your main points and state your claims strongly. Make a strong plea for\u00a0action or\u00a0invite your readers to refute your argument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
