How Should I Argue?

In this post, I will be looking at which types of arguments I can make. I will look what types of arguments I'm considering using in my Project 3.
I've already decided on which type of argument I'd like to carry out in my text, and since I want to propose a better solution to libraries dealing with book banning, it seemed like the Proposal Argument was perfect. I hope to incorporate evaluation, causes, refutation, and position into my text to support my solutions, but my main purpose is to use those to support my proposal for adding programs to libraries to revamp the tired Banned Book Week model of dealing with book banning and censorship.
Reflection: After reading Addie and Breanna's posts, I realized that my genre will really define how I propose solutions and who I reach. I think this process has helped me settle on my Genre, and I also have a more refined idea of what I'm going to say in my public speech act. This has also helped me recognize that I need to tailor my text to not just my audience but my context as well. Now that I have a strategy, I can go ahead!

I agree, the proposal argument sounds perfect for your purpose! I also agree that it is best to incorporate elements from the other arguments in this project to make it well-rounded, but definitely put an emphasis on the proposal. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI think the proposal argument will build into your audience quite well. It ensures that you're able to build a constructive solution and hopefully find conclusion to your controversy.
