Saw chapter 2
This chapter is about critical reading and Critiqueing papers. when looking at information in a paper there are three main areas to look at: the accuracy of the information, the significance of the information, and how the writer interpretated the information. In an paper that indroduces and argument on a issue there are 9 fallicies: emotionally loaded terms, ad hominem arguments, faulty cause and effects, either/or reasoning, hasty generalization, false analogy, begging the questions, non sequitur, and oversimplification.
SAW chapter 3
Chapter 3 talks about Synthesis and the different typs there are. Two typs of synthesis are Explanitory and Argumentive. A synthesis is a discussion with two or more sources to esplain the topic of interest. An Explanitory Synthesis is just mostly explaining what the topic is about and does't take any particular side of the issue.
SAW chapter 4
An Argument Synthesis is to persuade the reader about a certain claim to be true or not. There are three main parts of an argument synthesis: claim, support, and assumption. There are also three appeals of an A.S. : logos, ethos, pathos.
Logos- provide logical evidence to proove an idea
Ethos- relies on the credability of a person making the argument
Pathos- appeals to the emotions of the readers
Logos- provide logical evidence to proove an idea
Ethos- relies on the credability of a person making the argument
Pathos- appeals to the emotions of the readers
SAW chapter 4 expectations
chapter 4 in the SAW is about Argument Synthesis. I have never heard of this type of writing technique before, and i am wondering what it all involves to write one.

Claim: That if a student that is looking to go further in their education by going to college it is easier for the children that are white, and that come from a more wealthier background have better chances to receive admission from the college.
Why I think this is a credible source:
I believe that it’s a credible source because it uses both her own opinions and refers to other scholars that back up her opinions.

ENG101 final draft

Eng 101 M02
First draft essay
2/6/09
There is much debate about whether single-sex schools provide a better learning environment than co-ed. schools. Some educators claim that single-sex schools are more effective because students can consentrate more better than in co-educational schools. Other experts say that single-sex instruction is no better, and sometimes more inaffective than co-educational schools.
In “should the sexes be separated for secondary education: comparisons of single-sex and co-educational schools” Pamela Robinson and Alen Smithers report on research that they conducted an experiment on. The method they used was a questionnaire, they gave it to 100 students from three different schools; an all girl school, an all boy school and a co-educational school. The results showed negligible differences among the schools. Overall the single-sex schools scored slightly better in the academic part of the test, and the co-educational school scored slightly better in the developmental part of the test.
In “The case for single-sex education”Kristin Caplice discuses mostly why single-sex education is beneficial for the students. She argues that same-gender schools promote confidence and leadership qualities in females and males alike. Second, single-sex schools relieve the students’ burden of sexual distractions or in other words “The Mating Game”. Finally, she argues, single-sex instruction allows the teachers to adjust or change the curriculum and teaching styles to best fit the distinct behavioral patterns of boys and girls.
Both studies mention valid reasons for single-sex educational schools. The first article was more in the position that single-sex schools and co-educational schools are about the same in their teaching capabilities. The second article talked about the reasons why same-gender would preside over a co-educational school. The articles do have similarities within them discussing their role in the academic part of teaching students. Either way both kinds of schools are going to teach basically the same information and it depends on the students themselves if they want to be surrounded by the opposite sex or the same sex.

same sex education video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjBmSspXc3s
this is a short video on same-sex education. It was filmed in an elementary school that is trying the approach at same-sex classrooms. An interview is conducted with the principle of the school and she acknowledges that the students of each class are learning the same curriculum with the same teaching styles as a co-educational room would be taught.

Claim:
Though single-sex schools achieve better test scores thatn co-educational, the differences are so minute and there are other factors that come into play
Evidence:
The authors performed an experiment using a method of a questionaire to 100 students in all single-sex schools (both male and female schools) and co-educational.
I believe this is a credible source because the authors had a hypothisis and made an experiment to test and get results that would help them to decide which is better of the two kinds of schools
