Reading: in Critical Reading and Writing Unit 4 Introduction, chapters 19-21, 23 pgs. 72-96, 113-117.In Chapter 24 of Critical Reasoning and Writing (116-117), review the argument, and answer the question at the tend of the chapter:
“7) I already did this in 6 and eliminated a number of claims (~P, R, etc.) that didn’t matter when what I’m concerned with doing is making a valid argument to reach my conclusion. However, there are still problems in how I have phrased my argument that get in the way of it being as strong as it could be. Can you see how I can word it better to make it stronger?”
Once you answer the question by wording the argument more clearly to make it stronger, reflect on what you think the biggest challenges are in making strong arguments. How could you address these challenges in how you approach making your own arguments? How could you recognize flaws in arguments more consistently? Explain.
