Week 9, Post 2
Assignment #1, Critical Thinking in News and Politics," was very useful because it allowed us to use the materials we learned in this class and apply it to a real article. Each member was assigned a part in the paper. Doing so, I only focused on my assigned section which made it easier for me to fully understand what I had to do. I thought that by breaking down each component of the essay, it showed us how we were able to focus on the premises and the conclusion of the argument in the article. My role in assignment #1 was to find a "description" and define the difference between an argument and the description in the article. After concentrating on my part of the assignment, it gave me a better understanding of what occurs in articles and how the author writes can persuade the readers. I was able to see the difference between what is factual and what a premise is.
