We'll discuss video essays and Henrietta on Wed, and have video essays due December 13. The classical argument essay you'll email to me for the final time (whenever that is). :)
From among the topics we've discussed, choose one that you have something to say about, something you can develop a prove-able point and argument around.
Classical Argument Format:
Introduction: Stylized and Dazzling
Background: Background information, historical information, groundwork (What is the basis of this argument?)
Argument: Probably 2 solid paragraphs
Counter-Argument: a nod to the other side, usually a paragraph
Rebuttal: countering-the counter argument "They have good points, but I'm still right because..." your best arguments should go here.
Conclusion: Stylized and Dazzling
Works Cited Page
You are required to incorporate 1-2 quotes per body paragraph, and have at least 3 different sources.
