Then discuss how to place your tentative essay into either Aristotle's classical form of argument or the Rogerian argument style.

Here's how I would approach this discussion post:

1. Remind us of your topic.

2. State which argument style you will use

3. Give a 1-2 sentence overview of the style itself

4. Explain why you chose this style for your essay. Why is the best choice? Why would the other style produce a less-effective result? How does audience play a role in your choice?

Remember: No matter your audience's background and expertise, the paper you are writing is still a formal, academic essay. We should still avoid first and second person, slang, clichés, truisms, and any other form of informality.
