Post 5: Organizational Strategy for Doc2

I have finally figured out that I am writing a persuasive essay. I am producing an opinion - my claim - that people should consider my field of study (behavioral science) as the degree to attain.

Honestly, I do not want to claim that any one degree is the ultimate degree. I love how my education has evolved and the 'connective tissue' has been my degree in Behavioral Science. But if I am to have a successful paper I have to get onboard with the claim that everyone should consider a Behavioral Science degree.

My strategy? I did not have one really until Sunday, June 20th. My strategy is simple. Finish the project before the class ends.

If I continue with any English courses, I will look for guidance from Rebecca Jones. She has taken historical reference and put it in language I can digest. On page 173 of Finding the Good Argument OR Why Bother With Logic she lists rules to follow in simple language. I will try to do my best with all the rules but to complete my assignment, it is Rule #2, the Burden-of-Proof Rule that I am focused on now. The Burden-of-Proof Rule simply put means that I present the claim and provide the evidence for the claim. All those older texts have language that makes me sleepy before I finish the read.

So now, I start again. I am writing a persuasive essay. I am, at this moment in time, presenting an emotional claim and discovering all the facts (the science) to support my claim. I do like having the rules found at the end Finding the Good Argument (Jones, 173-178), to follow. 

And I have an outline created now. A very basic and easy to follow outline.
