   overall evaluation of the argument.
2. Argument summary: Standardize the writer’s argument using the five step method presented in Chapter 7.
3. Critical evaluation: Evaluate the argument; that
   is, say whether you think the argument is a good, convincing argument
   and give reasons to support your view.  Keep in mind the list of
   questions on page 209 of the textbook in your response.

   critical response to reinforce them in the reader’s mind.  End with a
   strong concluding line that nicely sums up your response or puts the
   issue in a larger context.
