In a collaborative writing workshop here on the class forum, we will respond to each other's informal paper 5 by disagreeing directly with what your partner says. We'll do this to practice a couple rhetorical moves. One is disagreeing with somebody in a productive, respectful, and generative manner, as we read about in our course packet. Another is helping your partner come up with concession and refutation moves, which is the same thing as "planting a naysayer" discussed in your course packet. These moves will be things I'm grading for in your final paper for this unit. So, provide your partner with some meaty, pointed disagreement! We'll talk about some possible approaches in class by looking at firing line responses to both the Miller article and the QSA report.
