Chapter 6 Question 3

After reading chapter 6 ‘Recognizing, Analyzing, & Constructing Arguments’, I found out many points that can catch my attention. One of the most meaningful topic from chapter 6 is from the constructing an argument. According to the steps it talks about, I learned the importance of organizing a persuasive argument. Since the whole chapter 6 has covered quite a lot of information, I can only show one piece of them. It says we better revise the argument before we need to give out any comments and I feel that this is really effective and assures me to continue to practice this skill.

An example from chapter 6 when one of the students from the class expressed his side of the topic that he had no support for made me realize that having a persuasive argument meant that I need supporting facts on the topic. Also, from the example, I learned that having a lot of information on my topic will definitely help me win my argument. This chapter has taught me that critical thinking will benefit my argument in the long run.
