I tried to send the reading for Thursday after class yesterday, but for some reason the message with the attachment didn't post.
Please access the attachment to this message. Those of you who were in class in person on Tuesday received a hard copy of the essay.
Please read "Letter From Birmingham Jail" carefully looking for argument strategies.
Does King
- treat his opponents with respect
- carefully address objections to his stand
- articulate common ground with his opponents
- stand his ground and successfully argue his points.
Look for examples of these strategies as you read. Mark them on your copy so we can discuss this classic argument tomorrow (Thursday, October 15th).
