3-1 Discussion: Assess an Argument

Previous Next 

Take a closer look at the article you chose for the Module Two discussion from USA Today Opinion.

For your initial post, share a link to your resource so that your peers and instructor have access to it again. Then, answer the following questions:

·         What is the strength/validity of the argument?

·         What resources are referenced to support the argument?

·         What, if any, gaps or errors in logic are present?

In response to the initial posts of two of your peers, do the following:

·         Read the editorials that they have chosen.

·         Assess their interpretations of the strength/validity of the arguments presented in their articles. Do you agree with their thoughts on the strength/validity of the arguments? Why or why not?

·         Later in this course and as part of your final project, you will be creating a counterargument or alternative argument to the claim of your primary article. Here, practice this skill by thinking about the gaps or errors in logic that your peers discussed in their posts and create one alternative or counterargument to the claim of each chosen article.
