Introduction of Law (PG #3) DUE 3/18

The final Progymnasmata exercise asks you to attack or defend a specific law that is timely and relevant to your topic for the course. This longer exercise (at least 500 words) requires you to use extrinsic proofs and the other rhetorical strategies we have been studying in order to support your claim for why the particular law should be justified or repealed. Think carefully about how data, facts, and the testimony of authorities might be used strategically to influence your readers for or against your cause. All extrinsic proofs should be attributed and qualified in your writing. Overall, you should use this exercise to prepare for the research-based action essay that will be our final project for this course. Getting started: 1) Read pages 217-221 ARCS 2) Use the example on page 218 as a guide.
