Today In class we took notes about what an argument is. We learned that an argument is an opinion(claim) which is supported by evidence but doesn’t have to be persuasive but can be implicitly persuasive. As well that anything can be an argument such as why earth is round and not flat. In addition, an argument includes three elements which are the speaker, the purpose and the audience, as well as rhetoric which is the art of arguing effectively. A rhetoric can also be a rhetorical triangle which is a relationship between logos, ethos and pathos which all also help an argument be a better claim.

 In class we were told how we had to take a short assessment that had about 5 questions and we had 20 minutes to finish it because it wouldn’t take that long. Once we were all done we were told about a presentation that we would be doing alone and that it’ll be on a character from the book. We could choose any character and we could either put down 10 songs the character would listen to, 10 things that could be found in their trash can or 10 websites the character would search up all with links that could be used.
