Propaganda terms.

Direct Instruction

How to approach a question that asks, " How does an author construct an argument or passage." 

Be sure to state WHAT the argument IS preferably in the beginning of the CRQ

Look for:

• Text Structure ( problem /solution, cause /effect, etc)
• Use of facts?
• Use of propaganda (repetition, name-calling, emotional appeal, statistics, etc.) ?
• Sub-headings, graphs, charts, etc?

Then you can say something like:

The author constructs his argument by using facts and propaganda. HIS ARGUMENT IS........He uses facts when he says...... to show that......

He uses the propaganda techniques of repetition and emotional appeal. He uses repetition when says, .......... in order to emphasize that......... Then he plays on people's emotions when he says..... to get them to react and take action.....

(This all applies to the CRQ on page 225 in green book if you have not yet completed it.)
