Blog Post #3 Directions


I bet you're feeling overwhelmed: the research process can be painstaking. We can make this post a short(er) one; let's say 250 words or so.

How is your inquiry project going? What do you feel like you've been doing well? And what do you feel like you still need support with? How can your classmates help you?


Looking ahead to your argument:

What is your "working thesis"? Does your working thesis align with one of the models from Chapter 5? (the misinterpretations model, the gap model, or the modification model) Why or why not?

What type of claim is your main claim? Explain. (fact, value, policy - see Chapter 3)

Do you predict you'll have to make any concessions in your argument? Why? (see Chapter 3)

Lastly, respond to some of your classmates' 3rd posts. Help each other where you can.
