assessment of the reasoning is important

the use of critical reading skills.”evaluate the relevance and validity of the support

evaluate the relevance and validity of the support

“read b/w the lines, figure out the meaning when its not directly there.Critical reading is at least equal parts reading and thinking

reading fast may not always be the answer. take time to under stand the argument

questioning the text helps engaging with the text

be free of mind and focused to the text

critical reading takes u into argument multiple times

rhetorical context we mean the background for the text, such as who wrote it, when, why, and to whom.

skim the text great way to start reading

annotations, claim and a reason

When you scrutinize someone’s argument, it helps to pull out these three levels of reasoning and put them into an outline or tree diagram

Strategy- paraphrase:”Paraphrasing and summarizing are both ways to give an accurate account of someone else’s argument.”

Paraphrase: very close reading, using your own words as way to understand an idea

using a certain tone in your writing can increase engagement and other forms of

peer evaluation of your work can help improve overall writing

A summary includes just the main points of the original argument.

summarizing, breaking down the content to a third of its length

“Set up the topic or issue in a way that gets the readers’ attention.

State the claim.

Qualify the claim, explaining any exceptions

.Define a key term or terms.

Give background information on the topic.

Give a reason and support it with evidence.

Give an opposing view and refute it.

Argument, mostly known as conflict or heated debate,

alot more to the meaning than previously stated, argument is more a fragment of critical thinking

most student will take the form of the argument

2 concepts: Argument and Rhetoric

Argument: Reasoned Thinking, essence of an argument; thesis, what the argument tries to prove

Reason is a sentence telling why the claim should be believed as true, needs to be supported with factual evidence

claim needs to be backed up by more than on reason

Rhetoric: the art of effective persuasion, there are tons of examples in the real world

Responsible argument is not a one way street

Too often people do not think about whether an argument shows good reasoning

RESPONSIBLE REASONERS ARE WELL-INFORMED

Responsible arguments can be forceful but never are rude or insult the opposition.

opinions must be supported with reliable and current evidence if not argument is dismissed

Ignorance and inflexibility go together because it is easy to form an opinion when few or none of the facts get in the way and people can just assert their prejudices.

Knowing context means knowing the current range of opinion on an issue

debates basically helped formed our country

Dialogue= Serious conversation

Conviction= earned opinion, achieved through thought and discussion

“Persuasion attempts to influence not just thinking but also behavior.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
