First class after semester break

The first class after the raya breaks was really informative class. I was wondering that time why Mr. Vahid was there because usually Dr.Jaya will conduct Tuesday class and everything seems different that day. I just remain silent because want to know what going to happen later on. Miss. Alicia told us that Mr. Vahid going to give us speech on Effective Argumentation writing and this make everyone pay attention where we have to use this method to come out with our position paper later on. In this session Mr.Vahid gave us explanation about what is Argumentative writing and the purpose of argumentative writing in the beginning. Later he explains the elements of arguments where here he provided few details on it. In the following slide he gave example of good argument which it involve of claim, data warrant, backing, rebuttal and qualifier where most of this term are new to me . I never heard most of the term and these sessions really benefit me by knowing new terms. He also gave explanation on how to argue on the issue effectively, the aspects that needs and so on. We also did few exercises on determining the claim, data, link, backing, rebuttal and qualifier in it where I felt it’s really challenging but with the help of Mr.Vahid finally I managed to do it. We also given explanation on argumentative writing checklist where in this checklist stated clearly the points will give for argumentation, organization, language and overall effectiveness. At the end of the class, each of us gets KFC which was sponsored by Dr.Jaya as a Hari Raya treat.
