Reading Response 10/30/09

This purpose of this reading was to point out some helpful tips while writing an argument paper. The main point I found most helpful was that you need to be clear about your argument in your paper. Don't just hide the argument deep in the paper but rather come right out and state it. Also, to be clear about which side you are arguing and support your argument to the best of your ability. This reading also points out the format of an argument paper.
This reading applies to our class because we are currently writing an argument paper. The points discussed in this reading will help us with the format of our paper and also will help us to be clear about our arguments as we continue to write.
