Attention getter
-Growing up, we all trusted the Scooby Doo Gang, who were a bunch of teenagers who could come up with the right solutions about the monsters terrorizing the towns, even though they usually had like a day to figure this out. Why not do the same for this author who says he heard bigfoot at 14 years old?
Credibility
-name, Vrooman’s chart for fallacies and P-OT, bigfoot field researchers organization website
Thesis
-The author is trying to throw the information into the reader’s minds quickly so there is little room for questions, probably because he knows it is not a good story.
Preview
-First we will look at the fallacies and then P-OT using Scooby Doo pictures to help illustrate
Fallacies
-Appeal to Misleading authority
-Hasty Generalization
-Post Hoc
P-OT
-Supposed Truths/Facts
-Coexistence:Intention
-Philosophical Analysis
-Example: Single
Conclusion
-All of this could have happened but there is not enough evidence to prove it, which is why the author jams all his thoughts in so quickly
-Clencher
-So that’s why you should closely evaluate their arguments before believing in meddling kids!
I think that the scooby doo references in the opener and conclusion are very strong. Perhaps the thesis of the author attempting to cram information on the reader is kind of weak, given that you have so many fallacies and P-OT examples integrated into your presentation. Overall, it looks like you have a lot to talk about, and the scooby doo references could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe outline is very easy to read and I agree, I love the scooby doo references. I would revise your thesis into something like why is he really cramming everything? Is he trying to build his story to be as formidable as possible, or is he just rambling? That distinction could be important for your argument. Also don't be like me and forget to summarize your points! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLike the others said, I think the scooby doo references are great for this. I think this outline looks good so far, but maybe if you wanted to you could organize the main points a little differently. Instead of just having it broken up into the fallacies and P-OT, you could break it down into a few of the scooby doo characters and how a fallacy or P-OT thing relates to that character. Either way, I think the outline looks good so far!
