In class today, Mr. Rivers had reviewed what the audience and argument of an essay should be and what it should be comprised of.

- An audience should not only address who the people are and what they believe in but what occasion is for writing the speech (Why now).

- An argument consist of the claim and how that claim is backed up by evidence. An argument should also incorporate specific tactics such as rhetorical devices in order to better persuade the reader.

After we went over the lesson, we had spent the rest of class working on our essay' s which will be due on April 11, 2018 by 11:59 pm. If you had any more question Mr. Rivers and Mrs. Carroll was available for help for they were walking around the classroom accessing the classes' progress.

Learning how to debate and argue is an important skill to master in the world today making today' s lesson relate to the real world.
