Purpose: our class is all argumentation. But, what exactly is an argument? Why? What does studying the components of an argument reveal? Before we construct our own arguments, we need to analyze the arguments of others, in order to better understand how and why arguments are built, to continue to developing our crirical reading skills, and to begin to practice the organizational writing techniques we’re been learning about.
