What is the context of the argument being made?

Answer the prompt here.

Identify at least two or three rhetorical devices used during this debate and explain their effect on the audience. Do you think the speakers use these intentionally? If so, for what purpose? If not, explain your reasoning.

As you can see, this template is a bit different from the APA formatting required for essays (no title page, header, or separate reference page, and I do not require indentations of the first line of paragraphs or use hanging indent in the references because indentation is challenging to manage in Canvas posts. I also allow the Q&A format because it makes it easier for you to ensure you answered all questions thoroughly. This template is designed explicitly for Week 1. Answer each question fully each week. Be sure to cite your sources. The correct in-text citations for the resources I have provided below are (Moore & Parker, 2020) or (Moore & Parker, 2020, p. #) if you are quoting for the textbook. For class videos, the correct in-text citations are (Burrell, n.d.) if you are not quoting. You must include a timestamp in the citation when quoting the video (Burrell, n.d., 1:21) if the quote starts one minute and 21 seconds into the video. Not all course videos provide a timeline, and you must time it yourself if a timeline is not provided. I suggest always paraphrasing rather than quoting. If you use more than one video from the class, you must distinguish between them in your paper. Put the sources in alphabetical order (as I have here) and use n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc., in citations. If you only use one video, only use n.d. (not n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc.). Scroll down to the reference page.

You need at least two references for each discussion. While I encourage using credible outside references (journal articles from the library or government websites, news articles from solid news outlets, etc.), the above references will meet your requirements. I have provided the proper formatting for the textbook and video references.

If you use more than one video from the class, you must distinguish between them in your paper. Put the sources in alphabetical order (as I have here) and use n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc., in citations. If you only use one video, only use n.d. (not n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc.).

APA 7 is different from APA 6. Here is a website covering some key differences: https://www.scribbr.com/apa-style/apa-seventh-edition-changes/. Regarding references, these are the most common mistakes I see:

· You made errors in capitalization of titles in your references. In APA, standard capitalization rules are followed everywhere but in titles of articles in references. In those, only capitalize the first word of the title, the first word after a colon in the title, and proper nouns. You also made errors in italicization. Italicize the article's title (unless it is followed by journal information — then italicize the journal title and volume).

· City/state of publisher not listed in references in APA 7.

· Replace "Retrieved…from" with the website title in APA 7. The website title follows the article title. Do not have both the website title and "Retrieved…from."

· When you reference an article from a website and have no author, the reference follows this order: Article title in italics. (date). Website Title. Website URL. Use the article title (not the website title) in your citations.

Be sure to delete all this and other informational material from the template before you turn it in. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have.
