Discussion Post: Talbot Connections
Watch the YouTube video "Bryan Stevenson: We need to talk about an injustice | TED", When you are finished, answer the following questions:
• What are main claims the speaker gives you in the video? Summarize these claims in your own words.
• Choose one section of the video. Describe any techniques the speaker uses to support the claims. Do they focus entirely on logical arguments (logos), ethical appeals (ethos), or symbolic and emotional language (pathos)?
• Does the speaker use counterevidence in the video? If so, provide examples. If not, what are the limitations of the speaker's arguments? What might they say to counter these limitations?
• Finally, what have you learned about argumentative writing from watching the video? What approaches might you take in your own writing project? Your answer should focus on writing strategies.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
