The Three Appeals

Part of your job as you discuss your Problem/ Solution is to persuade us to see things from your perspective. How is that done?

Use the Three Appeals.

Remember, you should spend time in your paper acknowledging any opposing viewpoints to the ones you present.

Homework:

1. Continue to work on the two projects, Solo #3 and Problem/ Solution.

2. TWFTD: a word from your article using the OED.

Close Reading

You are working on Solo #3 (gray handout yesterday).

Now, what do you do to your article, once you find it?

I. Print, read  and annotate your article. Use Google to verify?

Annotation: 
1. Chunk the text.
2.  Circle key words -- especially if they are repeated.
3. Underline and define any terms you are uncertain of meaning.
4. Left margin: short summary of each chunk.
5. Right margin: use an -ing verb to describe what the writer is doing in each chunk. (Explaining? Describing? Defining? Comparing? Contrasting? Ranting? )

II. Begin filling out the CRAAP test worksheet on it, as well. Comment on as many of the questions as possible. This will be part of the last daybook check.
