Digging Deeper into Research

Hi Everyone,

Click here to download the reading for Wednesday’s class. You do not have to print it but you need to at least download and read it closely for Wednesday’s class. In preparation for our discussion of this text, please write two brief responses to these prompts and bring your responses to class:

  1. Locate one claim that you found especially convincing or interesting and describe why it was convincing/interesting. Was it the supporting evidence the authors used? Their rhetorical approach? Both? Something else? Be specific.
  2. Locate one claim that you found confusing, unconvincing, or problematic in some way. Was the supporting evidence not strong enough? Was the claim too broad? Did the authors not sufficiently contextualize the claim? Be specific.

That’s it for now! See you on Wednesday.
