So, since we're working on the persuasive paper and working on argumentative skills, today I want you to tell me about a time when you had to make a case for something and your opinion was important. Did people end up listening to you? Were you successful? Are there times when you look back and think "Man, I should've said something different instead"—like I do all the time?

Muddiest Point
Today, we'll do an exercise called "Muddiest Point." Read the assignment sheet for the persuasive paper and write a blog post about the "muddiest point" for you—the part of the assignment you understand least or are having the most trouble with. Which part could be a little clearer? How would you change the assignment (aside from making it shorter/easier) to make it help you better?
Conversely, what's the easiest part to understand? What's got you going down the street, high-fiving everyone you pass because you're just that good?
