 This is not another writing class.  This is not a lecture (ie, sit back and listen)  This IS a thinking class.  Analyzing, interpreting, using as evidence, convincing, making decisions, DISCUSSING.  Bad attitudes and negative/rude comments will not be tolerated  Everyone has the right to an opinion, even if you think it is a stupid one  Take notes during their comments: Refer to them during “Rebuttal”

 One of the hardest things to do is learn to THINK or learn to change your thinking  Employers assume that a college graduate will be able to THINK.  Take your time with the material  look up words you don’t know  Come back to the material a couple of times  You need time to digest and process the information before it can fuel your mind, just as your body needs time to digest food before it becomes fuel.  Take notes on the material, talk about it

 Anything that shows opinion can be an argument.  Rhetorical (Persuasion) situations very widely (CONTEXT!!)  Stasis Theory (don’t worry, we’re going over each in a little more detail)

 Change what people think  Convince that facts are reliable  Other views should be considered or tolerated  Use of evidence and reason to discover truth

PersuasionPropaganda  Change a point of view and move to action  Persuade at the cost of truth, fairness, and/or reason "Propaganda is a form of communication that attempts to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.” (Jowett, pg.1) “Persuasion is interactive and attempts to satisfy the needs of both persuader and persuadee." (Jowett, pg.1)

 Approach it in a non-threatening way  Find common ground  Establish trust and respect  Seek Win/Win solutions

1 Did something happen? 2 What is its nature? 3 What is its quality/Cause 4 What actions should be taken?

 Everything’s an Argument With Readings (EAWR), Chpt 1  Choose 1 question from pg 36-37, 1 pg minimum.  Read: EAWR Chpts 2 and 3  Read: Intro and Chpt 1 of Fast Food Nation (FFN)
