Description

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WRITE AN ESSAY. There are some online articles and I want you to Identify the project, argument , claims, evidence, strategy that the authors used in each one. Also, identify the audience the writer is writing for. I will send a well explained definition for each of these terms (project, argument , claims, evidence, strategy, audience) so you know what exactly meant by each one. For example, what is the argument of the author in this article ? What claims he used to back up his argument? what evidences he used to support his claims ? what strategies the author used to persuade the audience? who is the audience of this type of article ? for example: researchers, students, governments, technology users, adults, parents, and so on ....
I randomly assigned two pages because I don't know exactly how many pages you need.
