Absent Post; Friday, September 11th

 Although I was not in class as of Friday, September 11th, I did later review my notes in preparation for the next class. These notes included but were not limited to defining a sound academic argument, what deductive and inductive arguments are, what the Line of Reasoning is, and exploring the ACE Framework used to establish a statement. The vast majority of these notes came compliments of the class discussions and class note documents which I dedicated plenty of time to. To better familiarize myself with the content, I took the liberty of defining much of what I  am expected to learn in this brief blog post: 

Argument- A series of statements intended to determine the degree of truth of another statement, the conclusion. 

Deductive Arguments- An argument that stems its conclusion from its sole reasoning. An example of which would be making a statement that is perceived upon what has happened in the past (historical patterns repeating; reasoning repeating). 

Inductive Argument- An argument that produces a statement based on a reasonable premise. Traditionally, one could express an Inductive Argument is one which states that someone is of a certain ethnicity because he or she acts as such in a broad fashion. 

Line of Reasoning- A systematic way to track how an author creates reasonable arguments to support his or her initial stance (idea). 

ACE Framework- ACE, which stands for Arguments, Claims, and Evidence helps an author sequentially rationalize a main idea. This is done through the framework's use of evidence requested for every claim the author decides to establish. The ACE Framework (as shown on our second lesson plan) is shown below: 

Argument: “___________________.”


Claims:


  1. ______________________________________________.

    1. Evidence:

    2. Evidence

  2. ______________________________________________.

    1. Evidence:

    2. Evidence:

  3. ______________________________________________.

    1. Evidence:

    2. Evidence:


Conclusion: 


With that said, I look forward to being regrouped with my class upon my return. Stay safe and thanks for reading!

"They Say, I Say" Blog Post; 11 "He Says (X) Contends"

 For our asynchronous assignment, we were directed to review our essay done in AP Seminar while amaking changes to align with that of They Say, I Say . This, of course, after we furthered our understanding of how applying the changes shown throughout the title can unstain our current righting strategies. As an example, Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein used a student example who revised their work utilzing their templates supplied throughout the previous chapters. The article, which argued in favor of Family Guys' innapropriate nature, was written and revised by Antonia Peacocke who once took the politcally correct opposition to Family Guy and it's crudeness. Her lengthy paper was written, reviewed, and then altered in accordance to how the authors of They Say, I Say  intended for others to use templates; that is, excessively and with plenty of consideration as to their appropriate utilization.  Regardless, we were to then perform a similar proccess to that of Antonia Pe...

They Say, I Say; "They Say" (Assignment 2)

Nicholas Kruzshak  Mr. Fendryk  AP Seminar 102 16 September 2020 They Say, I Say; "They Say"  As for our next assignment in accordance with They Say, I Say , we were to read all of chapter one and answer the exercise questions accordingly. Those questions, exercise one as well as exercise two, referenced both what we had learned in the introductory section and what was recently taught within the "They Say" section of the book. Both exercises in addition to some useful notes are listed below (in chronological order, of course):  Key Notes:  Continuously refer to the point in which counters your argument as it assists the reader in knowing your intent.  Beginning with an agreeable statement may be the best way to lead into your possible minority premise which others may not withhold.  By admitting to other viewpoints, your following argument becomes much more convincing to the now trusting audience.  While utilizing a strategy that aims to debunk a ...
