Persuasion Peer Review

I notice that in the first paragraph of the argument essay example, there are questions; should that be done in a persuasive essay as well?

    In the first essay, the student starts by writing a short summary as to what the article is about. The student then lists the two reasons as to why Foer’s argument is persuasive in a straight-to-the-point, clear, and organized manner. This intro was probably the strongest of the four. However, the second paragraph starts off by writing about how many Americans do not want to accept soccer as a pastime as many other countries have. There is little argument made in this paragraph as to how Foer is persuasive; here it is mostly summary of the article.…

    The debate on the importance of Liberal Arts is dear to my heart because of the impact my high school Humanities class had on me. Because of this, I had no difficulty forming an opinion in the debate and seeing the flaws in arguments against Liberal Arts. However, analyzing the flaws in an argument I agree with was harder than expected, but with the use of rhetorical analysis I was able to see the strong and weak points in the article. This allowed me to create a strong response that portrays my opinion in relation to the article’s arguments. Peer review was helpful because the process brought to light multiple grammar issues.…

    Similarly, in “In Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively,” Margaret Kantz frames the reading by sharing her input on what facts, opinions, and arguments actually are. First, Kantz states that, "'research' does not mean compiling facts and transmitting them to a teacher, but instead it is using a variety of conflicting sources to make an original argument on the subject that one is researching." In other words, when writing a research paper, it is important to enter into the conversation and share how the information that you found while researching effects your personal view on the subject. Furthermore, it is important to note that all the information that you find on the internet is not necessarily facts. Kantz defines facts as,…

The writer needs a topic to begin with like for instance, why breastfeeding your newborn baby is more substantial than bottle feeding. With a topic as this, this would make a great argument because so many nursing moms and new moms would have a different opinion for each one. Let’s just say that this is the topic for the essay, the writer would need to have a reasoning to back up their argument. From the website webmd.com, the advantages of breastfeeding are: (1) the cost of powdered milk is much more expensive than breast milk, so therefore breast milk is free, (2) the infant will get more nutrients from their mother versus out of a can, (3) it may also contain some fatty acids that promote brain development, (4) it can also save the nursing mom time from having to get up in the middle of the night to prepare a bottle for the baby, and last but not least (5) the new mom could lose weight with breastfeeding, and so much more.…
