Week 6 Assignment: What Does the Opossum Say? Invent a Scenario Involving a Genre of Argument
Your Week 6 assignment is a brief and fun one. It allows you to think "outside the box" about your issue and stance.
The title of the assignment is a bit silly and intriguing, but the idea is that you will consider the impact of your issue,
of your supporting arguments and the opposing viewpoints in your paper, on an animal that lives nearby, like an
opossum who hangs out by the trash bins behind a hospital. For example, if your argument's goal (say, a change in
the definition of "regular" and "hazardous" refuse), leads to a change in the content of trash bins and therefore to a
change in what the opossum is exposed to/ingests, that's something you may not have considered to this point. So,
via this activity, that opossum can be given a "voice" to express the impact on its life.
This is not just a fun little children's game, though; the intent is to push your brain and expand your understanding
of impact, while also demonstrating your understanding of argument genres as discussed in this week's textbook
readings and lesson.
You will create a presentation, using a mode of your choice. You may choose narrated PowerPoint, or another
medium like Prezi, or even make your own video with visuals, a screen capture if you are skilled in that- it is entirely
up to you and what you'd like to try out. The sky is the limit here. In this presentation you will:
State your thesis
• Identify a nearby animal that may be impacted by your topic and note the ways in which the animal might
be impacted.
• Then, give your animal a voice. What does it say about the issue? Let your animal share its thoughts on
your stance and on an opposing stance.
• Next, respond to the animal by using one of the argument genres discussed in the textbook and the
lesson. For example, would some definition help with clarity for the animal? Can you find common values-
based ground? Perhaps the animal raises a problem; how can you address solutions? For example, maybe
the "stay at home" order handed down in 2020 in response to the COVID pandemic managed to cut
pollution so much that certain animals returned to their habitats.
• Finally, you will discuss how and if a resolution could be reached and how the exercise helped you to see
your topic and essay in new ways.
Presentation Requirements
Depending on the medium you use, you will create the equivalent of a "slide" for each of the following (Some
presentation tools, or video, might not be actual "slides"):
• Identify your thesis, the animal, and why you chose it.
• Using your animal's hypothetical "words," state how your thesis or one of your main supporting points will
impact this animal and why.
• Respond to your animal by thoroughly addressing these concerns via an argument genre. Name the genre
you are using.
• Wrap up your conversation with the animal by noting whether a solution is possible and why or why not.
