Today in class we looked at Walker, Chapter 7. In the early English 1A class, most students had read the chapter so the assignment was to identify 3 arguments and support them with: 1 paraphrase, 1 direct quote and 1 block quote.
In the second class only one person had completed the assignment, so the writing assignment was to skim the chapter and identify 5-10 arguments and the support and to pay special attention to the evidence that fit into the categories: analogy, definition, testimony and consequence (this was in reference to the Topical Invention handout).
The midterm essay will be in response to a topic related to the Walker text.
