These are your arguments...Read 'em!

Folks, the first blog posts are in. And here's a taste of what your classmates see as an argument. I've chosen seven posts from Section 1 and six from section 2, linked below.  Your job over the weekend? Check 'em out. I've selected them not necessarily because they are the best in the class (though they're all good) but because they represent different sorts of "arguments"--some of which deal with the way that arguments are made online, which might allow you to connect them to our readings. In class today, some of you will get the specific assignment to comment on a few of these; others will be assigned to comment IN CLASS on the sorts of conversations they witnessed online. But everyone can check them out, and I encourage you to comment (look for links on the lower right here regarding how to comment well).

Section 1:
I'm Cool. I Died for You, Bro
a case against silence and anonymity
A very human argument.
From gunpowder treason to picket lines
The controversial arches
The Sexualization of Pride: Liberation or Fetishization?
Tweet Tweet

Commenters:  Liam, Allison Bb., Mahvish, Katie G., Claire
In-class responders: Ashton, Grace, Victoria

Section 2:
This is an argument.
This gesture is an argument.
Can you work too hard?
Do you hear the people sing
The argument etched on my skin
It's a bird. it's a plane. No, it's an argument.
