EDITORIAL COMM. RESPONSE PAPER Worth 25 points Purpose This assignment is to familiarize you to concepts in regard to argumentative analysis. You will take the knowledge gained thus far and apply argumentation concepts/model to a professionally written analysis. I will give you a copy of an opinionated written argument (editorial) from the editorial board of the San Jose Mercury News. Based on the argument model, write a paper regarding the following: 1. What is the issue? 2. What is the author's conclusion about the issue (what does he/she want the reader to do or believe? And what reasons (premises) does the author use to support the conclusion? List them all in numerical order in your paper. 3. Does the author use any evidence? If so, what kinds of evidence (examples, expert testimony, definitions, statistics) does the author use to back up his/her reasoning (premises)? 4. Is it solid evidence---is it sufficient, representative, recent, credible and/or relevant? 5. What kind of reasoning is used? Do you see any fallacies? If so, which fallacies are used? 6. What is your response to the article AS AN ARGUMENT? Don't give me your opinion on the topic. Look at the author's argument....that is where I want your opinion. b. a. c. d. e. f. What critique would you make of the author's argument? Are any claims vague or ambiguous? Are the premises well supported? Does the conclusion follow from the premises? What counter arguments does the author include, if any? Does the author acknowledge the other side of the debate?
7. Are there any assumptions you could identify behind the author's reasoning? a. Would you say they are warranted? Note: If the author doesn't use all types of evidence to support his/her claims, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad argument. This assignment is an overall evaluation of argument. Editorials will often rely on reasoning rather than evidence.
Criteria for Evaluation Your grade will be based on how well you answer each and every question above. The length should be around 5 pages. Your writing should display acceptable college standards of grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling. Type it. No handwritten papers are accepted. Remember: I'm NOT looking for your opinion on this topic... just your opinion to the author's argument. If you answer all of the above questions and still want to give your opinion at the end of the paper, that's fine with me. Just don't make it your entire paper.
