Intro- Hook: A cryptid is a strange animal with an
unconfirmed existence. For example, platypuses were once considered cryptids. Credibility: (cite Vrooman’s charts) I’ve
learned a good bit about arguments in this class, and I love cryptids Thesis:
This guy uses a cocktail of fallacies and types of arguments to create an
overall argument that leaves its reader at the conclusion “He’s making fun of
this site” (He is “not wasting my efforts here on a hoax of any sort”)
*Introduce Organizer slide*
-How his combination of fallacies helps my thesis
-
Anecdotal Fallacy/Misleading Vividness and accent (on TWO legs) creates air of cheesiness
-(Bandwaggon)
He hops onto assumptions that people on this site will believe him and (appeal
to misleading authority throws in an over the top list of his own achievements
just in case. Enough achievements to make you wonder if he’s really all of
these things given that he says he’s a police officer in the title and a
teacher in the story.
-In
a hasty generalization, we’re on to bears. Of course. We’ll see more of that in…
-How his combination of P-OT arguments helps my thesis
-Most
of these are about bears and overlook an obvious fact. Let’s see if you can
figure it out!
-
Comparison: Bigfoot and Bears
- Transivity: If
Bigfoot walks on two legs and the giant shadowy figure walked on two legs, then
the giant shadowy figure must be Bigfoot.
-
Supposed: He allegedly knows how bears work and how Bigfoot works
-
Single: This event is undeniable proof that Bigfoot exists and is definitely
not a bear
-Need I go on?
-But
bears can walk. It’s common knowledge that bears can walk.
Conclusion- Main Points: His fallacies wove together, his
arguments wove together

Really like how detailed and precise you are in the outline, gives me a good understanding of what you will be talking about which as someone who will be hearing the speech itself I much appreciate.
ReplyDeleteI think the best advice I can give you is perhaps a bit more organization, which sounds weird because your outline is already quite organized, but maybe using some of the outline words that Vrooman suggests like main points and transitions, but that's all dependent on what you might forget and what will help you remember. Also don't forget to try and keep your outline as un-wordy as possible so you don't get suck reading.
ReplyDeleteSo your outline information looks good. Maybe you can try to spread out your wording a little. Work on the transitions a little more, and make it more clear. Try to make the conclusion a little bit more longer.
