Aim to discuss the argumentation strategies used in the reading. Start a conversation with your initial post, then join the conversation others have started. Keep the convo moving.
Contribute to the conversation with something unique. If others have already said what you wanted to say in their initial post, comment in your initial post on what’s been said then add your thoughts so you’re contributing rather than repeating. Imagine we’re all sitting at a table and discussing the reading.
Initial post must:
State the purpose and thesis/claim.
Identify the use of logos, ethos, and pathos. Were any of these three used? Where? How effective was the usage?
Which argument model did this speech resemble? What aspects of the speech make it seem more Toulmin or more Rogerian?
Was the argument strategy used convincing, or do you think the speech would have been more convincing with a different strategy?
Choose one reading from the “Persuasive American Speeches” section of the Supplemental Readings list.
The reading choosen is: Susan B. Anthony “On Women’s Right to Vote”
