Original Writing Task
Our textbook states in Chapter 5, “Once we’ve assessed the quality of another person's argument, there is an opportunity to take our reflection a step further.” For this midterm, you will be doing just that. Pick one text from this unit, and write a response that takes the author’s argument a step further. Some strategies for crafting a response include:
- Add to the sense of urgency about the argument with our own explanation for why it matters.
- Recommend ways to draw attention to the issue.
- Suggest that the argument has implications even beyond what the writer discusses.
- Remove limitations on the argument to make a broader claim.
- Argue that the argument's claim points us toward a particular course of action.
- Call for clarification, more support or inquiry, or a middle ground on the topic
