REFLECTION
I looked at Isaac and Andrea's blogs and was impressed with what I saw. They both clearly found articles with clear correlation with each other and the genres that they have chosen. I noticed that Andrea's was more similar to min, so I had more interest and was able to take that and add onto mine because of what i've read.
I think you are on the right track of what the genre is and what to include and exclude. You want to address the counter argument but of course you want more of your own argument since that is the point you are trying to make. Although my genre is more broad because of my topic I will be including and excluding similar things. It will be heavy with my argument and ethical and logical appeals but this wouldn't be the case for all topics in my genre unlike yours.
ReplyDeleteI believe you have a good grasp of your desired genre. I see that you want to address the counterargument. I feel like this is an effective strategy. I plan on doing the same thing within my own project. By deconstructing the opposition's claim, it indirectly elevates your own. You have very specific controversy, which will take extra explanation, so be sure to include a contextual aspect to you project. All in all, you are off to a great start. Good luck on project 3
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that you found different rhetorical strategies in this genre. I'm doing a very similar genre, but I suppose the subjects of the articles we looked at led to these different conclusions. Also the treatment of the author's opinion as the most important information was an interesting difference, since my articles seemed to shy away from focusing too much on the author's claim and more on their evidence. Your understanding of the genre seems to have you on the right track and I wish you luck!
