Unit 1 - Here are the things you should know and be able to do
Essential Understandings:
1) Individuals write within a particular situation and make strategic writing choices based on that situation.
2) Writers make claims about subjects, rely on evidence that supports reasoning that justifies the claim, and often acknowledge or respond to other, possibly opposing arguments.
Skills
1) Reading – identify and describe components of the rhetorical situation: the exigence (the reason for the writer or speaker to present the issue or problem), audience, writer, purpose, context, and message.
2) Reading – identify and explain claims and evidence within an argument.
3) Writing – Develop a paragraph that includes a claim and evidence supporting the claim.
Essential Knowledge:
1) An audience of a text has shared as well as individual beliefs, values, needs, and backgrounds.
2) Writers create texts within a particular context that includes time, place, and occasion.
3) Writers convey their positions through one or more claims that require a defense.
4) Writers defend their claims with evidence and/or reasoning.
5) Types of evidence may include facts, anecdotes, analogies, statistics, examples, details, illustrations, expert opinions, personal observations, personal experiences, testimonies, or experiments.
6) Effective claims provoke interest and require a defense, rather than simply stating an obvious, known fact that requires no defense or justification.
7) Writers relate source material to their own argument by syntactically embedding particular quoted, paraphrased, or summarized information from one or more sources into their own ideas.
