Introduction
❖ 2012 Doomsday?
❖ Since the turn of the new century, a theory has emerged concerning the end of the world, or at least the end of life as we know it.

The most noted characteristic of this date is that it appears to mark the end of the Mayan calendar. But there is no evidence to suggest that the Maya saw any great relevance to this date. In fact, none of the claims surrounding a 2012 doomsday event hold up to scientific inquiry. The year 2012 will pass
❖ Ø The claim—the point of view the writer tries to prove about the issue, usually the writer’s view on the issue

❖ Ø The refutation, which recognizes/acknowledges and argues against opposing viewpoints
