In class on Friday we shared and clarified our initial impressions of the concepts in The Ad and the Ego and how they might apply to our own experiences with advertising. Then we selected two to six concepts that we'd like to continue to discuss next week. Finally I asked those of you who will be watching the American football game Sunday night to pay close attention to the advertising through the lens of the concepts we've considered this week.
For the last twenty minutes of class we took a look at argument rubrics and examples. Looking at the examples of 8s and 9s in the links below please pay attention to (1) the ways that the essays build to a bold assertion in the introduction and conclusion, (2) the ways that some of them attack opposing arguments, and (3) the ways that the essays incorporate effective examples and counterexamples to support a position.
