Through revision I have learned that I have enough information but I'm not putting it all onto my paper. When I have information in my papaer I also learned that I need to tell what site I'm getting the information from. I have also found stories and videos about what has happened on the border when I'm going back to find more about my topic.

1.) Make your thesis as specific as possible without stating the absolute fact. I also need to have clear and good data and details to support it.

2.) When I'm writing my paragraphs I need to include a smooth transition from the previous one so it doesn't sound so choppy.

3.) Deduction= Major premise, minor premise, and conclusion. Enthymemes are used to persuade the audience.

1.) Circular Argument: Restating the argument rather than actually proving it. I learned that I shouldn;t keep circling back to the same idea and keep restating it.

2.) Ad Hominem: This is when you attack certain parts in particular. I'm going to not take sides in my presentation and I will just show both opinions.

I worked on my vchart the last couple days. While writing it I was trying not to take sides when writing the arguments. The arguments for the vchart I pulled from some of the broad ideas. I choose arguments that are most known and people will understand even if they are on one side of the argument.

He trabajado en mi vchart el último par de días. Al escribirlo que intentaba no tomar partido al escribir los argumentos. Los argumentos para el vchart que extraído algunas de las ideas generales. Elijo argumentos que son más conocidos y gente entiendan incluso si están en un lado de la discusión.
