Argument as Conversation-- Reading Response
In Argument as Conversation Stuart Greene explains ways to construct an argument for students and writers. He argues that in order to construct a good argument you must identify an issue, meaning meaning what is the conflict, identify the situation, meaning what is the context in which the issue is based, and you must frame a good question that is answerable with the tools you are given. he also talks about framing which ought to highlight key point within your argument using other people's texts. Framing also causes you to name your position, offer definition and description of the principle in which your argument is based, specifies your argument, and helps organize your thoughts and the readers understanding of your writing. Overall Greene suggests that the writer keep his or hers writings well organized and maintaining focus on the topic or issue they are writing about and define they're position and views on the topic.

I think you did a really nice job of touching on all of the points of the article. I like the way you included all of the different ways Greene talks about framing instead of just mentioning one. Also your paragraph is organized well.
