Create your own original 3-line argument that contains the following (please list with bullets as you see below):
Premise 1
Premise 2
A conclusion
The argument should be relevant to your life in some meaningful way—relevance to some issue you care about, something that happened in your life, your potential future career, etc. By contrast, it shouldn’t be one of these silly, made up examples you see in class or text about an inane subject like a person who doesn’t exist or a mostly irrelevant events/objects.
The argument you create doesn’t have to be a particularly good/effective argument (we’re not there yet in the course!), but it should be clear that it’s an argument and not something else. Using the MAPS Handbook reading(s) explain to the reader why this is an argument, why the two first statements are categorized as premises and why the 3rd is a conclusion.
Differentiate the argument you’ve created from two (not all three) of the following: (a) an unsupported assertion, (b) a report, and (c) an explanation. Devise your own original examples of the two types of non-arguments you select and clearly explain why these examples are in a different category the argument you created.
Source selection. You may use only the course readings from the MAPS Handbook for Critical Thinking. Do not go beyond the course reading(s)—one or more course readings should be your only source(s) to support your writing.
5 pts for your initial argument and your explanation for why it’s an argument:
4.5-5 pts – Excellent-outstanding
3.5-4 pts – Good-great (relatively minor issues with meeting one or more of the 8 intellectual standards found in the Critical Thinking Primer)
2.5-3 pts – Minimally acceptable to acceptable (significant issues meeting one or more of the intellectual standards)
fewer than 2.5 pts – Not a pass (major issues meeting one or more of the intellectual standards)
5 pts for differentiating your argument from two kinds of non-argument (with original examples of each non-argument provided for comparison):
4.5-5 pts – Excellent-outstanding
3.5-4 pts – Good-great (relatively minor issues with meeting one or more of the 8 intellectual standards found in the Critical Thinking Primer)
2.5-3 pts – Minimally acceptable to acceptable (significant issues meeting one or more of the intellectual standards)
fewer than 2.5 pts – Not a pass (major issues meeting one or more of the intellectual standards)
Ensure that you cite and reference any sources you use to describe and explain why your passages are arguments or something else. As always a 2-point deduction may be applied for APA issues, including issues with citation and referencing. Papers that are particularly concerning for whatever reason may receive a zero grade or be returned to students for revision. Don’t forget that no quoting is allowed and that you must stay within the assigned page limit for this assignment.
