Argument Log
General timeframe of argument (time and date) | Nature of argument (what was it about, what was the outcome?) | Reason for argument (to convince? Inform? Persuade? Explore? Understand?) |
Paragraph 1: Reflection (explain who you are as an arguer). Questions you might consider include: how do you define the term argument? Which arguments do you participate in that are most effective? What patterns do you see emerging when you assess your arguments?
Paragraph 2: Pathos. What role does pathos play in your arguments and how it impacts the effectiveness of argument. End this paragraph by setting a goal for yourself: how you can improve as an arguer?
