First, search your memory for meaningful experiences by doing some free-writing or list-making. List the most memorable sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches from your life and see if several of them are related to one particular experience. When you have isolated an important event, bring the experience to life for your readers by describing it in detail.

The stand is the author's thesis. What kinds of reasons does the author list for taking that stand? The reasons are his or her supports for the stand. Do you think the argument is effective? Why or why not? When you have finished analyzing the argument, write me a one-paragraph e-mail message (mhalio@udel.edu). First, describe the argument (list the author, subject, purpose, thesis, and supports). Then write a few sentences to comment on the success or failure of the argument.

Write for a specific audience and purpose. Remember to have a thesis and supports and to use specific, concrete, illustrations and examples. Be sure to do some brainstorming to consider why your experience might be important to your audience. In other words, you must think about why your audience should CARE about your experience. Why might it be relevant to their lives, or the lives of others they care about? NOTE: Your thesis will become evident when you discover the link between your experience and your audience. For example, if you write an essay about a bad experience you had on a job, your link to your audience might be to show them how to avoid making the same mistake you made.

For example, you might tell the writers where they need to add more details so that you can understand the situation they are writing about, or where they might bring the essay to life by showing rather than telling about the event.

~~CR~~ ~~LF~~~~CR~~~~LF~~The rough draft of the research paper is due on April 4th, but good papers take a while to develop, so you should begin today to discover a topic.

The final draft is due on April 11.~~CR~~ ~~LF~~~~CR~~~~LF~~
To begin the process, make a list of topics that you are concerned about (for example, drunk driving, violence in movies, toxic waste, smoking by teens, etc). Next, generate some issues or questions about the topic that seems to interest you most. For example, you might ask, "Why do teens smoke?" Then, when you have isolated the issue you are most interested in, do some free writing to see how much you already know about the subject. After you have exhausted your personal knowledge, you will need to find some source material--in the library, on the web, or in your community. This process takes a while, so you should work at it a little each day.

On page 50, Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz say: "To make a strong appeal to any group, you need to understand its core values . . . since, in most cases, values themselves are subjects of debate. You also need a perceptive sense of your own values--both what they are and the assumptions that support them." Very often in a debate we think we understand what the other person is saying, but we do not, because his or her values or assumptions are entirely different from our own.
~~CR~~~~LF~~~~CR~~~~LF~~To practice identifying underlying values, do the first exercise at the end of this chapter in EA (p. 54) where you are asked to list 30 values--core values (ones on which most people would agree)--associated with the people of the United States. You may quickly find that it is difficult to construct such a list. For example, would you put belief in God on your own personal list of values? Would you put it on a list of current American values? Why, or why not? Would you put a strong military defense on your list? Concerns for the environment? Would your list be different now than it would have been several years ago? When you have constructed your list, choose your top ten "core values" for Americans, post your list of ten to the Forum entitled Americans Believe. Note any of the values that you do not personally agree with. (If you think, for example, that an American value is a high standard of living, and you do not think that is vital to happiness, you should note your difference from this American "core value." ) If you wish to see a sample posting on this topic, go to the forum entitled "Americans Believe."

For example, if you are arguing that the government should help welfare mothers get off the welfare roles, are you taking this position because you feel that everyone benefits from self-reliance or independence, or because you think that welfare mothers are a drain on taxpayers and that society should have taxes from all of its citizens? When you have examined your argument, post a paragraph to the Gallery, listing your subject, purpose, audience and tentative thesis.

Because Toulmin argument stresses "the way people really think" (EA 81), it opens up the possibilities for exploring all sides of an issue. "A critical claim in Toulmin argument is learning to state the warrants that support particular arguments. The warrant is the connection, often unstated and assumed, between your claim (thesis) and your supporting reasons..." (84). Toulmin argument, because it tries to make the implicit (unstated) explicit, helps writers and readers to communicate better. ~~CR~~~~LF~~
To practice understanding Toulmin argument, analyze the paragraph by Gertrude Himmelfarb on the subject of building orphanages for neglected children on p. 75 in EA. Be careful! Himmelfarb is being ironic in this argument! First, identify her claim and her reasons for that claim. Next, list her warrants or underlying assumptions about the value of children to society. Then list the questions that "perspective readers" (see p. 92) hovering over her shoulders might ask. Finally, from the list on p. 91, choose some qualifiers Himmelfarb might use to modify her claim to answer the objections of the "perspective readers."

Writers who follow Rogerian approaches seek to understand the perspectives of those with whom they disagree, looking for win-win solutions rather than trying to dominate others. The trick is to look for common ground. In the real world, many successful arguments use the Rogerian approach. To do some background reading on Rogerian argument go to the University of Delaware Writing Program exercise or the Buffalo State handout on the structure of a Rogerian argument. ~~CR~~~~LF~~
~~CR~~~~LF~~After you have done some reading, make a list of problems that need solving, either in the US, or internationally. Post your list of problems to the forum called Roger 106 or 107. Read several of the messages in the Roger forum to see if others have listed some of the same issues. This is the first in a series of assignments that will lead to a collaborative, problem-solving paper that will explore an issue from many different sides.

A good Rogerian writer is able to restate the position of the other side in a way that is acceptable to the other side, and to state what's good about the other side. To practice thinking from a Rogerian point of view, choose one of the problems from the list you created for the Roger Forum and list at least three different ways that people might think about this problem. Then list what's good about each of the possible solutions. To see a sample of this assignment go to the Gallery.
