E06: Safer Saws Claims:

GM its the morning of 10/16/17 discussed the proposal +5 that makes your reading reading and your writing worth. Need to resubmit changes to Stone Money Essay for a better grade due to the fact that it is a failing grade because it didn’t reach 1,000 words. Safer Saws Claim technique to avoid injuries. All major tool company declined on his offer. Its proven to succeed but no one wanted to test and give it a try.– Choose 5 people making claims. 5 sentences, evaluating claims,art of class for Wednesday..
-Narrow your focus as soon as you possibly can.
-There are many possible perspectives to one argument.
-It is common to object someone’s claim due to lack of evidence.
-It is an unfair criticism to judge a claim in this way, as it is difficult to prove a point in one sentence.
-Instead, “it seems unlikely that it could be proven.”
-Often, a large idea can be summed up in one claim.
-Use sources that you like to find valid claims from many different opinions.
-Choose five sources to use.
Proposal +5 : process is important. From a small moment, building detail and expanding from there. Start small to begin. One small thing, examined from multiple angles=worth reading.
Stone money rewrite: if you get an F, probably because your post couldn’t be found. Most common way to fail, word count 400-500 words for 1,000 word requirement. You can put in more work to make another rewrite/regrade an A.
Excercise: Safer Saws Claims
Saw stop invented to prevent injuries from saws. Saw companies decline buying Sawstop for their products. Gass then made his own saw company but since company is small, prices are high. Consumer product safety advocates urge government to enact mandatory sawstop. Costumers want sawstop. Then other saw users argue people that know how to use saws don’t injure themselves. Then people that were injuries argued and filed lawsuits against saw companies. Since companies had sawsafe at their convenience to install but didn’t that makes them liable for injury.
Use five of the links and get five people making different claims from pool. Ex. 5A , 5B etc. only need one claim per person.
A) name them
B) explain or quote sentence
C) what type of claim (ex factual, opinion, evaluation , proposal which makes suggestions or advocates)
D) evaluate accuracy, quality, reasonableness, logic and persuasiveness of claim and any support. They don’t need to prove claim.
E) you may choose to refute claim, in few sentences, if you disagree. If you agree say why.
Look at model example. DUE WED OCT 18 before class. Title safer saws-todayistheday . Publish in E06 and today. Uncheck 123 oops.
Start assignment
Proposal +5 is critical for our research paper
A lot of information and knowledge in our heads
Proposal +5 helps crystalize our ideas and narrows our focus
Start small and then expand out to describe that small thing
Start with something 300 words long, then you can examine it from a variety of angles and expand it to make it worth reading.
Stone money rewrites on blackboard
Safer saw
Glass made a saw that will stop the blade in 4/1000ths of a second of human contact
Regulators say this technology is similar to seat belts or airbags in a car
No major companies wanted the technology
Have people that will not want the technology because they think you cannot mandate safety equipment in the workplace.
