Each controversy group has been assigned a particular type of argumentation that is covered in Good Reasons.
Each group needs to create a wiki page about their type of argumentation. Here are the requirements for the content of the wiki page:
- A definition of the type of argumentation based on the information from Good Reasons
- 3 different examples of this type of argumentation. For this requirement I would like you to use 1 example from one of the texts that we're read as a class, one from a text that one member of the group has found in their research, and 1 example from a text outside of class. This text from outside of class could be from any medium--it could be a commercial that you find on youtube, it could be a song, it could be an adverstisement or image.
- You need to transition between the examples or explain the relationship between the examples. In other words you need to explain how the examples use the method of argumentation similarly or differently.
Each group will also be required to give a 5-7 minute presentation of their method of argumentation in class. This presentation will be based on the wiki but you are not allowed to simply read the wiki to the class.
