** Does not have to be 275 words..this is discussion post** Analyze the ways people often “debate” them in problematic ways. There are, to be certain, good debates around these issues, but, for various reasons, these topics tend to bring out less rational arguments. Those are the ones we are focusing on. This week your contribution to the class discussion consists of: 1) 3 fallacies that people commonly use when discussing these topics (e.g., a common fallacy used related to gay rights is the Slippery Slope fallacy). Explain  a) the way the fallacy you identified is used in relation to that specific topic b) why it often works to convince people c) why it’s not rational.   2) 2 emotive words that people frequently use when discussing these topics (e.g., people often derisively use the term “slacker” when referring to someone who smokes marijuana as a way to minimize any arguments in favor of legalizing marijuana). Explain  a) why emotive words like the one you identified are effective in this case b) why it’s a distraction from the harder work of thinking about the complexities of that issue c) what word would be more cognitive and should be used in a serious debate instead.   As always, the explanations and analyses must by entirely your own, in your own words.

Persuade your target audience that a) your topic is important and b) that your ideas for future research on that topic should be implemented  Use this journal post to explore your ideas for the three essential parts of the Rhetorical Situation: Author This might seem obvious (it’s you!), but here I want you to fully explain how you will function as the author of this multimodal composition. You are a student, an expert on the research that you did for the LR, and….? What else do YOU bring to the table? What ETHOS do you have? Why is YOUR PERSPECTIVE on this research topic unique?  Subject / “Text” Again, push past the obvious on the subject/text of your multimodal proposal (research from the LR and new ideas) to be specific about what you envision including in the “message” of your composition. This is the time to think expansively and creatively—not practically. What artifacts are associated with your topic that you could include? What images, sound bites, voices, objects, texts, etc. would work well with the research from your LR? What arguments, debates, counterpoints, and IDEAS might you consider including?  Audience Audience is the least fixed concept of the three essential elements because you get to choose who your audience is going to be. At this stage, it is okay to pitch different audiences for your work — who exactly would you want to read/watch/see your multimodal proposal? Be as SPECIFIC as you can here. Visualize that audience. For instance, if you decide to make a podcast or youtube video for this project, who would be your ideal subscriber? If you made a blog, who would be your ideal readers? If you made a digital presentation, who would you IDEALLY want to view it?  Modality Reflect on Wednesday’s discussion exercise about how different modalities shape different kinds of arguments. Now, think carefully about the audience that you chose for this assignment: What modalit(ies) might you use to best reach that audience? What types of images/sound clips/videos/graphics/text would *add significant value* to the information you gathered for the Literature Review?

MUST BE IN MLA FORMAT. You must have a thesis in which you make a specific claim about the poem(s) on which you choose to focus. This claim should indicate the argument you will be making about the poem and provide a direct response to the prompt. In the body of your essay, offer close analysis of the details and specific textual evidence to support your thesis.  DO NOT make claims about how events make a poem more “interesting” or “engaging,” how they make the reader more “curious,” or how they heighten suspense. Such claims are usually true enough and can often be quite insightful, but they are not the kind of arguable claims that most often lead to engaged or engaging analytical essays. Your feelings, hunches, and guesses do not provide adequate support for your claims in an academic essay. PROMPT: Write an essay exploring how personification (Figure of speech) contributes to the emotional effect of the poem and its theme. POEM/SOURCE: “Because I could not stop for Death” By Emily Dickinson
