Those of you that were gone Friday, we took a vocabulary test that you’ll need to make up and we read and had a brief discussion on The Autumn of the Multitaskers that you will need to read as well.
Homework for this weekend is two-fold:
- Identify and blog the main claim of The Autumn of the Multitaskers as well as the supporting claim for each section (helpfully denoted by the big drop cap at the beginning of the section). Write a brief reflection at the end about how these sections and their claims work together to support the main claim.
- In Everything’s an Argument, read pages 139-147 and then skim pages 147-171 (This second set is all about Toulmin and can be very helpful in understanding Toulmin’s system).
FYI: At some point next week, we’ll have a Toulmin quiz.
Next week we’ll discuss the Everything’s an Argument readings that you have done and any questions you may have.
We’ll also dive a bit deeper into argument and start analyzing the essay we’ll use for our argument paper (I know you just turned in your JFK papers, but before the extension, I’d planned for you to have half a week and a weekend before we started talking about the next one!)
Have a good weekend!
