Analytical Presentations, Session #3: Week 13 -- Day 28, Thursday, 02 May 2002

NOTE: This session will be in Cina 214 rather than the lab

1. Work on the paragraphs defining your problem for project #5. You should already have finished your freewriting.
   • Answer the question, "Exactly what is the problem?" (¶ #1)
   • Work on the paragraph explaining who the problem affects. (¶ #2)
   • Write one paragraph explaining why the problem needs a solution now. Why can't it wait? (¶ #3)
   • Write a list of solutions/resolutions that are possible for your problem. List as best you can the reasons for and the objections to each. Use two columns. List pros in one column, cons in the other. (¶ #4)
   • Work on the paragraph outlining who can do something about the problem? (¶ #5)
     
     
2. Work at revising proposal / essay (Paper #5). Write a draft full enough that you can also begin work on your resolution. You will need to have definitions clear, a division of the whole into parts, and adequate set of reasons. Know your audience.
   
   
3. Classify in writing your possible resolutions. Select those that seem best for your audience. Are there resolutions your audience might be more comfortable with than the one you intend to offer?
   
   
4. Write a paragraph expanding on your proposed solution. List the 3-5 major ideas, examples, claims, and other illustrative materials that support your argument. Be prepared to discuss your revisions with your peer reviewers.
   
   
5. Include in your revision two opposing positions or pieces of evidence that can be used against your argument. Have these written out and ready to use in class.
