2. Chapter 7 Things to Know for Your Mid-Term
Deductive vs Inductive (pg 121)
Classical Oration Latin Structure: exordium, narratio, partitio, confirmatio, refutatio, peroratio (pg 122)

3. Deductive vs Inductive
Inductive- piles up specific examples and draws conclusions from them.
Deductive- sets out a general principal (the major premise of a syllogism) and applies it to a specific case (the minor premise) I order to reach a conclusion.
Syllogism- a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on 2 or more prepositions that are asserted or assumed to be true.

4. Deductive vs Inductive
I get hives after eating ice cream. My mouth swells up when I eat cheese. Yogurt triggers my asthma Dairy products make me sick
Dairy products make me sick. Ice cream is a dairy product.
Ice cream makes me sick.

5. Going beyond deductive & inductive reasoning
You also need to
Define claims
Explain the contexts in which you are offerenting
Defend you assumptions
Offer convincing evident
Deal with those who disagree with you
Etc.

6. Argument Structures The Classical Oration
This is my preferred method because
It is a strict formulated structure which is both easy to write, but it is also easy to grade. 
Rogerian and Invitational Arguments
Toulmin Argument

7. The Classical Oration (page 124)
Exordium- attention grabber
Narratio- thesis
Partitio- background
Confirmatio- your lines of argument
Refutatio- alternate arguments
Peroratio- summary and call to action
Intro paragraph
2nd paragraph
May be more than one paragraph
Penultimate paragraph
conclusion

8. The Classical Oration
What to discuss in each section is listed on pages
I would say paragraph, but often in college essays, the intro, background, lines of argument, alternative arguments, & conclusions are not always one paragraph. Think of these as sections in your essay.
Also, get past the idea that your intro needs to be short or that paragraphs can’t be long. In well- written college essays, often times intros and body paragraphs can be around a page long or even longer.

9. Example of Classical Oration
The Declaration of Independence (pages )

10. Where is the rest of the chapter?
We will look at Rogerian and Invitational Arguments and Toulmin Arguments after you have written in the classical oration structure for your summer reading.
