3.) Rule/Warrant (a general rule, definition, life example that is not related to the text but from real life)

TOPIC SENTENCE: The company Van Heusen uses imagery in their advertisements for ties in order to appeal to men with the idea that women are less powerful and should serve men.
1

EVIDENCE: Which of the following would be the BEST piece of evidence for this paragraph?

1

RULE/WARRANT: Remember, a rule or a warrant should not be about the image or text you are analyzing. It shold be a general truth or definition.

A Rule/Warrant should be something MOST people agree with. If you see a rule/warrant that you do not agree with, that is NOT a good warrant or rule.

1

ANALYSIS: This shold connect the rule/warrant to your claim.

PART 3: Paragraph

Go back and find all the pieces of the paragraph. Then put them together to create a coherent and logical paragraph. Remember, the first line of a paragraph is indented. DO NOT label each section (I do not want to see the word "Claim" , "Rule", "Warrant", "Analysis" anywhere in the paragraph.


All you have to do is copy and paste each section and put them in order. To copy and past hold down "control" and "P". Then hold down "control" and "v" to paste.

This section is worth 15 points.
