Claim: Time, even in the smallest amounts, can be very useful.
Grounds: Small amounts of time previously unused can be used to get work done, and it opens up larger blocks of time later on.
Warrant: With the extra time I never really saw as useful before, I am able to get work done quicker, allowing for more free time after class.
Backing: After implementing more of my free time, I no longer have to do nearly as much homework after classes-it gets done while I wait for my next one to begin.
Qualifier: Only on certain days, only when I have time between two classes.
Even though it seems incredibly simple, it's not something I noticed immediately. With this process I've managed to become much more productive with available time, and have allowed myself extra time for myself after class. It's always nice to have time to relax after a day of class, as I'm sure everyone knows at this point.
Brandon,
ReplyDeleteGreat point! I've definitely realized this too during college as you often have an hour or so between classes that can really help to get a small amount of homework or anything done. If gone wasted, you can end up staying up later and later into the night which isn't fun at times.
I'm glad you realized this, too, because a lot of people don't. Time is the most valuable thing we have, so we should make the most use of it as we possibly can.
I hope you continue to keep this in mind throughout college so that you don't end up relying on caffeine and energy drinks late at night as many college kids do.

I like your argument, but you may have wanted to define "useful" more in your claim. I can discern what you mean by useful, in the context of completing school work. But different people have different things that they may find useful. In the future, when implementing rhetorical strategies you need to be a little more specific so as to be sure that you are demonstrating what you are arguing in the fullest.
