• 2) the narration would offer background material on the case at hand • 3) the partition would divide the case and make clear which part or parts the speaker was going to address, which parts the speaker would not take up and what order would be followed in the development • 4) the confirmation would offer points to substantiate the argument and provide reasons, details, illustrations, and examples in support • 5) the refutation would consider possible objections to the argument and try to counter these • 6) the peroration would draw together the entire argument and include material designed to compel the audience to think or act in a way related to the central argument

Instructions for Part 2: In the tables below, replace the sample material with full APA citations and annotations for four sources, at least two of them academic. Your annotations should each be 100-150 words and accomplish the following: 1) identify the main claim (thesis) of the source, 2) identify the main type of evidence used to support the main claim, and 3) provide insight into the warranting assumption that connects the main evidence to the main claim. Do not plagiarize your annotations from article abstracts (or the sources themselves).
Introduce the second main point of the argument. Then, provide evidence from the sources. Multiple pieces of evidence should be provided to support the main point.
Part 5: Connect the argument with facts that prove your points. Note the areas of objections and offer concessions if needed.
