Hi all, This chapter is a very valuable one, one that is probably near and dear to teen hearts, how to argue. One of the most valuable pieces of information in this chapter is how to build an argument. First start with the cons in your arguemnt. This means you need to address the opposing side and how they feel. Then state your points as to why your opinion should be considered. Put your weakest point first, and your strongest point last. Close with a bang. Next time you're reading an issue that's currently being debated, such as health care reform, see if the author folllows this format. Do they finish with a bang?
Here is your assignment for week 3:
Monday: read all of Ch3 p33-39.
Tues: questions 1-4 on p39.
Wed: Choose ONLY 2 thesis statements for Assignment ? #1 and start on #2. #2 is long, as it's a 5 paragraph essay, but this is great practice. It's casual essay, so you don't have to spend a lot of time on it.
Thursday: Complete your 5 paragraph essay and do the vocabulary questions.
at first I thought the funnel thing was a martini glass. XD

Hi Matthew, I think that will be fine. Just be sure you read Ch2 and apply it to your writing for Ch3.
ReplyDeleteMs. Michelle, may I post my assignment here on the blog so that you can print it and write comments for it and/or grade it?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would be MORE than happy to post my report dealing with my theme song/facebok story (so sorry that I haven't had a chance to reply to your email stating this!). I actually typed it on my dad's laptop though, and it doesn't always have internet access, so I will have to scan it to our regular computer first before I can post it on the blog. Thanks so much! :)
