Construct a Rogerian Argument
Touchstone 3.1: Construct a Rogerian Argument
ASSIGNMENT: As you learned in this unit, a Rogerian argument is one that presents two sides of a debate and argues for a solution that will satisfy both sides. Given the two articles linked below that present opposing sides of an issue (mandatory uniforms in schools vs. some kind of dress code), construct your own 2-3 page Rogerian argument essay in which you attempt to arrive at a concrete, workable solution or “middle ground” citing three accurate, direct quotations from the sources to support your claim.
NOTE: Citing or referencing sources not included in this assignment or inaccurately citing direct quotations not found in these sources will negatively impact the score (see Summary of Positions and Thesis/Claim components in the rubric).
The essay should contain the following components:
1. An introduction that accurately presents both sources (i.e., author, title, year of publication, and their relative position in the debate), as well as your middle ground thesis statement.
2. A body paragraph that summarizes the pro-uniform rationales. (Both articles can be used, but focus on Anderson).
3. A body paragraph that summarizes the anti-uniform/pro-dress code rationales. (Both articles can be used, but focus on Deane).
4. A body paragraph that critically compares and contrasts both sides of the debate.
5. A conclusion that further develops your proposed middle-ground solution and demonstrates how it satisfies both sides of the debate.
In order to foster learning and growth, all work you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any plagiarized or recycled work will result in a Plagiarism Detected alert.

Khalid/ Dalia 251 yoga
** you will answer this for two students
Classes 1 and 2
Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog Description states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.”
You are required to exercise twice per week.
Each week, I provide 2 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience.
Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long.
When you have completed both classes, you will submit your answers to the following questions.
- What did you enjoy about each class? Please designate each class. For example, in Class #1, I enjoyed the feeling of relaxation after completing the class. I enjoyed the shoulder stretches because I have limited movement in my shoulders. I had a difficult time with the one-legged balance. Discuss specific poses and exercises that you experienced in each of the videos. Please discuss something about each class, talking specifically about the classes, so I know you are practicing along with each video.
- What was difficult about the class, or did anything hurt? Be specific. For example, in Class #1, I can’t sit cross-legged on the floor. Is there another way I can complete the exercise without my legs hurting? That way I can help.
Submit your assignment at the end of each module/week.
You may type your answers into the text box, or attach them in doc, Docx, or pdf.
