Unit Goal/Essay Question

The Classical Argument
  • Exordium draws in reader
  • Narration provides background
  • Partition defines parameter of the argument
    (make claim)
  • Confirmation offers support (evidence/reasons)
  • Refutation responds to opposing positions
  • Peroration concludes, compelling people to
    think or act

Classical Argument Example
  • The WGA and AMTP are at odds over digital rights
    royalties.
  • The WGA should be paid for new media broadcasts.
  • 1988 was the last renegotiation for the WGA the
    DVD market was in its infancy and digital rights
    were unheard of.
  • WGA members make 2 cents per DVD sold. They make
    0 cents from digital rebroadcasts.
  • The studios will lose money, but they make
    billions and none will fold by a 2 cent increase
    in writers pay.
  • Writers should be paid for digital media rights
    and paid more for DVD sales.
