Tuesday, November 18

Target:  to revise/edit your arguments so that they convince your reader that this is the "truth."

1. Purpose of argument vs. persuasion:  http://goo.gl/fMdk2

2.  Review a NYTimes rubric for argument/editorial: http://goo.gl/OiNSOv

3. Concluding Paragraph:  Do not bring up any new points to support your thesis, but exert some control over your last impression here.  There is some good advice here: http://goo.gl/3BYIHM

Think of an upside funnel:  begin with a return to your thesis, but then move outward from that, leaving your reader with a sense of its larger implications and a sense of why this matters.  

TURN IN A FINAL DRAFT by FRIDAY (changed date)  in my DROPBOX by 3:00 P.M.
