Guide Sheet 1 Prof. Jack Urowitz History Makes The News Fall 09 Breakdown and Reformation; Forming Opinion/Idea Into Argument/Pitch There are six sections that you must complete to write and support your opinion. 1. Opening (Exordium): -- Start by warming up your audience with one of the following • a vivid image, a moving description, • a joke, • a key fact, • something of historical consequence, • a quote. 2. Thesis (Narratio): -- Now you get to your statement of interest, which includes the topic and your opinion on it. 3. Plan of Attack (Divisio): A quick overview of the points that you intend to bring up. This shows how you will prove your opinion. 4. Point by Point Elaboration: (Confirmatio): This is the long section where you spend a paragraph (at least) on each point introduced in your Plan of Attack. 5. Arguments against your Thesis (Confutatio): If appropriate, (and in most cases it is) present the strongest argument that could be brought against your thesis -- and then show why it isn't enough to disprove the main thrust of your opinion. 6. Closing (Peroratio): Step back from your thesis -- recall the image-joke- key fact-historical relevance-quote, that started your talk. Or restate your thesis with your most relevant speculation (forecast). This is where your charm comes back to take centre stage away from your methodological declarations. uploads/Philosophie/ guide-sheet-1.pdf
