Argument Pre-Write
• Consider your ethics question for Argument Parts 1 & 2.
• What legal changes could be applied to the situation? • What effect could these changes have?
![Page 11: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Argument Part 3
• We have built our argument by addressing a situation with a fact approach and judgment approach.
• Our final step is to address the situation with a policy approach.
• Part 3 (at least 2 paragraphs) is our argument of policy.
• Argument of policy think about what we did for “The Great Fire” last quarter.
![Page 12: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Argument Part 3
• For this portion of the argument, you will apply a legal change and explain how that affects the novel/characters.
• Example:
Ethics Question: Was it right for Jimmy Worth & Buck to harm Flapjack?Ethical issue: The behavior of Jimmy & Buck towards FlapjackLegal Change: an animal abuse law Application: animal abuse is illegal, so blame transfers to Jimmy & Buck rather than Elias**this might change things for Addie Ann & her family**
![Page 13: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Argument Part 3
• Today’s Task:
Brainstorm legal or social changes that could apply to your ethics question.
You will be arguing how the change would affect the situation described by your ethics question.
{just like when we argued how new laws would reduce fire risk in 1870 Chicago…}
![Page 14: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Argument Part 3 Outlining
Step 1: What is the legal change? How is it connected/relevant to your ethics question?
Step 2: How might this legal change affect things?
Step 3: How do you know? (gather textual evidence from the novel to support)
Step 4: Create the normal evidence-rule-conclusion chart to begin working on the argument (same process as used for the argument of policy last quarter, about "The Great Fire")

Argument Part 3 Format• Same paragraph structure • This will be one longer paragraph
Claim
Evidence (2 sentences min.)
Rule (1-2 sentences)
Conclusion (2 sentences min)
Counterclaim
Rebuttal
Overall conclusion: (this could be between 2-4 sentences)
Restate claim by combining claims from all 3 argument parts.
EX: As proved by the evidence, Jimmy Worth & Buck Fowler are mean, thoughtless people for abusing Addie Ann’s cat, Flapjack. An animal abuse law would punish Jimmy & Buck for intentionally harming animals, which is illegal.
Describe “life lesson” by explaining what we learn about the ethical issue.
EX: Through this situation, we can see that Jimmy & Buck’s behavior towards Flapjack is an ethical issue. Though others may think otherwise, Jimmy & Buck most likely acted wrongly.

Remember Subject-Verb Agreement. Fix any errors that you see.

patron saint of Ireland.
Explanation: The purpose of writing (is, are, am) to make an impact.
Explanation:
![Page 21: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Writing…
• A quote from Ms. Gross:
“Good writing is a nice balance between style & substance. The purpose of writing is to make an impact and get to the point. This cannot be accomplished with fluff and empty words.”
![Page 22: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bad habits are:
• Using “I think” to start sentences.• Using “This is why I think….” as a conclusion.
• WHY? • These are EMPTY words: no substance!• These are redundant and have no meaning.• These are “fluff” that serve to fill up a page.
![Page 23: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Solutions:
• Approach your writing with confidence, not with doubt!
• Writing “I think”/ “I believe”/ “I say” shows some doubt.
**Also, we already KNOW that it is what you think:
You are writing it, so it MUST BE what you think!
Be SURE of your claims!
![Page 24: Monday—March 10, 2014 Subject-Verb agreement occurs when the verb matches the subject of the sentence, depending on whether the subject is singular or.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ebc5503460f94bc49af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Practicing
Which claim is stronger & more powerful?
I think Jimmy Worth and Buck Fowler should not have harmed Flapjack. I think this because Jimmy and Buck hurt Flapjack intentionally. I think this is not right.
Jimmy Worth and Buck Fowler should not have harmed Flapjack.
Revise the rest of it, eliminating empty, fluff words.
