The critical reader must be able to evaluate arguments.
When you evaluate an argument (a set of claims), you determine its value or persuasiveness. To be able to do a good job evaluating arguments, you need to know what an argument is and how an argument is put together.

Parts of an Argument ISSUE - problem or controversy about which people disagree Ex: Athletes’ salaries

CLAIM - the position on the issue Ex: Athletes are overpaid.

SUPPORT - reasons that the claim is reasonable and should be accepted
Ex: We value entertainment more than health and safety.

Ethos, Pathos, Logos Ethos: an appeal to the writer’s credibility
Pathos: an appeal to emotions Logos: an appeal to logical reasoning
