In Class Writing
I would say the time that sticks out most in my mind was the time that I had to prepare a speech to give in front of a bunch of older men as to every detail that was in my eagle scout project report. I had to include every hour that was spent working on the project, who all was included in the work that was taking place, where the work was being done, and also what time of day. I had to come up with a cost estimate of materials that would be needed for the project. I had to give an estimate as to how long the project would take. Everything in the report had to be extremely detailed and complete. As if the report of the project wasn't enough I had to get up in front of people who aren't even my peers and inform them as to why I felt that I had met and exceeded the requirements of this achievement level. As for the informing I had to inform them of what my project had accomplished and who would be benefiting from my work. I had to convince them that I had accomplished everything to the utmost detail. I explored a vast variety of ways in which to get the job accomplished. Finally I had to make decisions as to how we were going to get money for the materials that were needed and how it was going to get done. In this case I feel I demonstrated all four of those aspects pretty well and feel that is my best example of an argument that I've had to make and the reasons for it.
