English I Honors—September 17, 2015 Daily Warm-up: Identify the types of evidence used in the examples below: 1. My neighbor's house and my house are both ranch homes with two bathrooms. They probably both use copper plumbing. 2. Over 75% of the murder victims in cases resulting in an execution were white, even though nationally only 50% of murder victims generally are white. 3. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. 4. What if a prisoner who was wrongly accused was put on death row? 5. To thwack a child over the head because he does not get his lesson is about as wise as it would be to rap a watch with a hammer because it does not keep good time. 6. When I dropped out of college, it wasn’t the popular decision. Many criticized me saying that I, “gave up on what could have changed my life.” Today, I make 150,000 a year and I never have to answer to anyone but myself.

Unit 1 EA2— Writing an Argumentative Essay Your assignment is to write an essay of argumentation about the value of a college education. Your essay must be organized as an argument in which you assert a precise claim, support it with reasons and evidence, and acknowledge and refute counterclaims.

Unit 1 EA2— Writing an Argumentative Essay Skills and Knowledge: Write a well-developed introduction with appropriate background, a clear explanation of the issue, a claim, and a thesis. Present body paragraphs that strongly support the central claim with relevant details. Summarize counterclaims and clearly refute them with relevant reasoning and evidence. Conclude by clearly summarizing the main points and providing logical suggestions. Follow a clear organizational structure with a logical progression of ideas and effective transitions that move the reader through the text. Integrate credible source material into the text (with accurate citations) smoothly. Use a formal writing style and correct spelling, with excellent command of standard English conventions.

EVIDENCE Facts & Statistics - Numbers from surveys, studies, or observation, as well as pieces of commonly accepted information Analogy – Comparison between two things to support conclusions about one based on similarities to another

EVIDENCE Personal Experience/Anecdote - True story that describes a person’s experience relative to the topic Illustrative Example - Description of a specific example to support the validity of a generalization

EVIDENCE Expert/Personal Testimony - Use of a person’s words to support a claim, whether the person is like the audience or an expert Hypothetical Case - Use of a possible scenario to challenge the audience to consider the claim

Texts: America’s Schoolchildren New school year, old story: Education pays (Pg. Quotes about education Five Ways Ed Pays notes

A. Types of Evidence/Support B. Example from Class Readings/Viewings C. Used to. . .(logos, ethos, pathos? In what way?) Facts and Statistics Analogy (figurative or literal) Personal Experience/Anecdote n Illustrative Example (brief or extended) Expert/Personal Testimony Hypothetical Case

Why College Isn’t for Everyone/Actually, College is Very Much Worth It As you read the essays, mark the text for the following: claim (also write this in the chart on p. 81) support/evidence (also write this in the chart on p. 81) counterclaims/refutations (also write this in the chart on p. 81) conclusion/call to action (a final challenge to the reader to take action) Answer the Key Ideas and Details questions on a separate sheet of paper. Answer the following on your paper: Who is the audience for this essay? Use text support.

Identify Elements of an Argument Why College Isn’t for Everyone Central Claim But for many, attending college unequivocally is not the right decision purely on economic grounds. Support/Evidence Earnings have nothing to do with college but with other traits. More than 40% fail to graduate and make little more money but have debts and lost earning accrued while unsuccessfully pursuing a degree. Earnings vary considerably between different schools and majors. The number of new college grads exceeds the growth in the number of jobs. Counterclaims Does this mean no one should go to college? Of course not. Refutations/Support College is more than training for a career and high school students with certain attributes are less likely to drop out of school. Graduates in the top quarter of their class should go to a 4-year program. Conclusions/Call to Action Those in the bottom quarter should not go to college (opt for alternatives). Those in the middle should go to a 2-year program and then transfer to a 4-year school.

Identify Elements of an Argument Actually, College is Very Much Worth It Central Claim 86% of college graduates still felt it was a good investment. Data make clear that getting a college education is a good idea—college graduates earn more and are more likely to have a good job in the first place—it is important for some Americans. Support/Evidence Anti-college sentiment is nothing new. Zuckerberg and Jobs’ companies are bursting with college graduates. Most effective social mobility strategy we have. College dropouts earn $712 vs. college grads $1038. College grads have better benefits. Unemployment was 5.4% for college graduates. Children from low-income families gain more by going to college. Counterclaims (Come first in this article) Lately its become fashionable to question whether it’s really “worth it” to go to college. Americans would be better off skipping college. Concessions/ Support “widespread dissatisfaction”, “only 40% of Americans felt that college provide “excellent” value for the money.”, “there are rewarding jobs without going to college.” Conclusions/Call to Action There are a lot of benefits for going to college. When people who worked hard to achieve something that benefitted them start telling you that it’s really not all that important or useful—beware.

Check Your Understanding 1. Which writer presents the more convincing argument? Why? Cite evidence to support your conclusions. 2. What elements, if any, do you think are missing from either of these pieces? Explain. 3. Why do you think Andrew J. Rotherham disclosed at the end of his article that he is a member of an educational group? How does this disclosure affect your perception of his argument? 4. Look through both articles, and list the types of evidence used to support the argument (facts/statistics, analogy, personal experience, illustrative example, expert testimonial, or hypothetical case)

Introductory Paragraph Write an introductory paragraph to your argument essay about the value of education. Make sure to provide a hook and state your claim in the last sentence of your introduction.
