As part of being in a rhetorical conversation, we discuss how you have to cite the sources you use. Not only do you have to cite them, but you have to understand sources to use them well. Read Margaret Kantz's article about using sources? Then answer the following questions:
1. Kantz writes that Shirley "believes that facts are what you learn from textbooks, opinions are what you have about clothes, and arguments are what you have with your mother when you want to stay out late at night". What does Kantz contend that facts, opinions, and arguments actually are?
2. Make a list of the things Kantz says students don't know. misunderstand, or don't comprehend about how texts work. Judging from your own experience, do you think she is correct about student understanding? How many of the things she lists do you feel you understand better now?
3. As its little indicates, Kantz's article has to do with using sources persuasively. Did her article teach you anything new about about the persuasive use of sources to support an argument? If so, what?
