Prior to class yesterday, the class was assigned two separate readings. Once class started the class had to take a short quiz on the readings to make sure that every one was reading them and that we comprehended what the purpose of the readings were. After the readings we were assigned groups, each group was assigned a different task. One group had to prove why the mom in Carrie was the biggest monster in the movie. Another group had to prove why Carrie was the biggest monster in the movie. And the group I was assigned to had to prove that the classmates were the biggest monster in the movie. After all the presentations it was easy to see some weaknesses in each. For an argument to be strong you must connect with the audience emotionally, and logically. Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Each argument has to be super descriptive and clear so someone who believes other wise can not find a spot to pick you out on.

  1. Don't summarize the class. Me and your classmates (your primary audience) all know what went on in class. We want to know more about what you thought or felt about what went on in class. Your opinions, the things you learned, anything the lesson may've reminded you of. Things of that sort.
