Argument is Everywhere

To complete the 2-part assignment that produces two grades, writers must recite They Say I Say template in its entirety, without any changes. Then, writers must submit a copy of the article, a Summary Response, and a Works Cited page.

Part I of the assignment requires students to find an argument from anywhere. When searching for an argument, the issue must be unresolved. Keep in mind that issues have not been resolved. The topic for an issue for this assignment can be on any topic, e.g., a toenail, as the title of the assignment Argument is Everywhere. Students are to plug information from the argument (article) into They Say I Say template that includes a basic argument with two positions: support and oppose. This is the first page.

Part II of the assignment requires students to write a summary response. As students already know, a summary includes only major details. For this particular summary, rather than compose multiple paragraphs for multiple details (or points), use transitional words and phrases within one paragraph to discuss major points. The second paragraph (response) should focus on your reaction. See Summary Response handout. This is the second page. Before class is scheduled to begin on June 4, 2020, submit copy of article, Summary Response, and Works Cited page.
