Freshmen: Today we introduced argumentative essays. Do the following:
1. Read 484-486, if you haven't already.
2. Read 487-491. Info from this should dovetail with the seven step essay process we covered this year and has some info that will be on the semester final. This counts as your 20 minutes of reading for homework.
3. For your own future argumentative essay, perform steps 1 and 2 from our seven step essay process:
a. Define the problem: think of some problems you would like to write about (you don't need to pick a position). Some examples might be the Jazz's poor play, the high price of food in the cafeteria, the recent inversion... any problem.
b. Gather information: Write down five facts about your problem, including their sources. This might be print sources, observation, interview, etc.
Bring these for next block period.
Also due next block period... your cause and effect essay! Yeah!
Sophomores: Today we introduced the four stages of the hero. Finish Antigone for next block period, and your essay on Oedipus for Friday.
