Jones, Rebecca. Finding the Good Argument OR Why Bother With Logic? Writing Spaces, 2010.

Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words- Jones talks about how during an argument it’s always whether or not you think the other person is wrong or completely changing one of the participants viewpoints on the topic at hand. People never just turn and say hey that was a great argument. My reaction to this article is I agree with this, people need to listen and appreciate the other side viewpoints. If you do this you are able to research the other side which could possibly change your mind and if it doesn’t you can use that to structure your argument further. The author expresses the importance of a good argument throughout our history as a country and for the future.

James talks about how many people stand down during an argument ”

dug in their heels and defended every position, even if it was unpopular or irrelevant to the conversation at hand” (James)

people tend to defend every position their group may align with even if it is irrelevant.

ACE’s Blog

  1. ACE’s are adverse childhood experiences, many different kids grow up in different environments which alters their experience as a childhood and how they react. A toxic stress can be an event that occurred in a Childs childhood that can inevitably stress them for the rest of their lives.
  2. Adversities like poverty, racism, and homelessness can effect the education a kid receives because if they have more issues outside of their learning environment it distracts them from intaking and expressing emotions in work. These adversities can effect the emotions of the children and surpasses their ability to create inevitably. With these adversities a child faces a higher chance of experiencing a toxic stress.
  3. ACE’s effect literacy because it may suppress the kids creativity or they may have fear to express how they feel on a c certain idea. Overall they can also make the kid less productive or into the idea of learning.

What is a writer?

A writer is someone who expresses their thoughts and emotions through words. They are able to speak their ideas onto a paper and intrigue a reader and keep them interested. Writers are able to develop a story or an opinion and keep it flowing smoothly without boring a reader or going off track. A writer is able to use different grammar rules and punctuation to vary the lengths and flow of sentences, they do this to alter the way their work reads. A writer must be creative or interested in what they are writing. For me as a writer I am not super creative with coming up with stories to talk about, but when I am able to research an idea or issue it allows me to learn and put my information I’ve learned onto paper. I like to change sentence flow and I enjoy writing a first sentence to hook the reader that is one thing I think is good about. my writing.
