Week 18

This week we're moving into the cannon of arrangement for essay 5.  That means we'll be adding a new part to the essay.  The new element is called "division".  In division, we consider points of agreement between the two sides of the issue and state that agreement before stating the disagreement in the form of "thesis" followed by "counter thesis".  If you are confused on this lesson, please refer to the DVD lesson for clarification.  Also, don't hesitate to e-mail me with questions.
