Question

As part of being in a rhetorical conversation, we discuss how you have to cite the sources you use. Not only do you have to cite them, but you have to understand sources to use them well. Read Margaret Kantz’s article about using sources. Then answer the following questions:

1) Make a list of the things Kantz says students don’t know, misunderstand, or don’t comprehend about how texts work. Judging from your own experience, do you think she is correct about student understanding? How many of the things she lists do you feel you understand better now?

2) As its title indicates, Kantz’s article has to do with using sources persuasively. Did her article teach you anything new about the persuasive use of sources to support an argument? If so, what?

Answer 1

1) & 2) I think that she is correct about student understanding, She narrates with her writings , that every student reads the articles as stories and accepts as a fact.

She says that one has to make up his mind ,whenever one reads the article is "opinion" of the author .

If to accept that fact, the fact must be backed up some realistic source.

She also says that when one goes through  the lessons , one must also have to go through some examples.
