Wednesday, December 14

Discussed how, based on reading "Terror's Purse Strings" first and second-hand evidence relates to appeals to reason, authority, and emotion.

Reviewed the essay "Why Can't Environmentalism Be Colorblind?" on page 101 of the packet, analyzing it for the impact of first-hand evidence.  What appeals does this kind of evidence seem to support?

Reviewed the assignment for a Rogerian argument, to draw from last week's opposition argument and incorporate a concession and refutation in a 300--600 word essay.
Rough drafts due to discuss in topic-centered support group tomorrow; final drafts to be due on Tuesday.

Students checked in with groups.
