https://padlet.com/heharris/chapter8 Make one post per group. Make your group section (e.g. 1, 8A Recognizing and Contextualizing Arguments) the title of the post. In the comment section of each post include: the main idea of the section and each person should write two original questions (questions that were not in the text). Then each person should write a question on another group’s post. en-us 2019-02-04 15:09:48 UTC 2025-10-23 17:45:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/heharris/chapter8/wish/327366179 Amalia, Alexandria 

To better understand an argument you should know the cultural context.

- What if there is not enough background information?
- What if the person who is making the argument does not understand the cultural background?
- If the writer has false information how do you argue that?
- How do you find clues to figure out the writers cultural background

Main Idea: Read everything as an argument even if it is not written as one.

- Is the historical voice accurate? 
- How are we as writers able to write arguments to represent a group of people?
- Is the argument backed up through ways of knowing (logic,fait, memory, sense perception)?
- Is the language in the argument non biased, and appropriate to the audience? ]]> 2019-02-04 15:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/chapter8/wish/327367208 https://padlet.com/heharris/chapter8/wish/327367310 Main Idea: Logos is often thought of as the most credible source for an argument because it draws from evidence and facts.

Q: What makes a good logical example?

Q: When is using a logical approach most/least appropriate?


Q: What type of writing utilizes logic most frequently?

Q: Why are people quicker to trust a logical source rather than ethos or pathos?
