Today, the class focused on a unit in which the 5 argumentative essay categories, finding effective and ineffective items to use in essay writing. The first category Mr. Rivers goes over with the class was presentation which in an effective standpoint would have an effective MLA Heading, consistent spacing and 12-pt font. The ineffective way to use presentation would include a sloppy setup of margins and different fonts. After we finished going over that, the remaining four were split up into groups and completed in a few minutes time. The other categories were Research, Organization, Content, and Voice & Style. For research. Under effective, they put no plagiarism, correct citation, and analyzed correctly. For ineffective it would include no citation, plagiarism, choppy sentences. Another group had organization. Under effective was Perfect Paragraph format, Transitions and good topic sentences. Next is content, this includes sufficient evidence, a great claim and counterclaim of course and an even better refute to the counter claim. Lastly, Voice and style. An effective way would include a Good use of tone, Sophisticated Grammar and Depth of vocab. The ineffective part would have an Informal tone. After this, we un-submitted our better than the best draft ever paper. You were then told to pick one quote from the paper that expresses one of the groups above in a positive and negative way. This assignment is to be done in class or for hw due at 11:59 and submitted back into classroom.
