All questions are requesting information from the course lectures, not other sources and are graded based on demonstration of comprehension of course content as taught in lessons.
1. Explain the difference between argument, rhetoric and linguistic merit.
2. Watch the MLK video and give an example of how he uses rhetorical power to persuade his audience. Give what you take MLK’s argument to be (not a summary of ideas); start by stating a conclusion and then try to capture the evidence for that conclusion as premises. You may not be using his exact sentences as presented (they are including rhetorical effects). Try to capture his main premises in about 3-4 premises. Pay attention to logical connection between the information in your premises and your conclusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgVrlx68v-0
3. Briefly describe “background information” and in your own words give a small lesson you have learned from Rappielle, Luntz or Orwell as related to background information’s impact on reasoning.
Respond to another persons post. Give specific feedback on what information their version of the MLKing argument captured the best.
