Thank You for Arguing

Hello,

O.K. - First off, I have to give credit for the title to a T-Shirt you can order from the rhetoric guy. Nonetheless, it is appropriate for today's class. We were all about the argument today.

We reviewed a number of documents:
  • A terms handout with terms for AP multiple choice
  • Your practice essays were handed back.
  • I gave a multi-page handout about the argumentative essay on the AP exam.
  • I shared a sample essay with you.
  • We reviewed a document about "working the prompt".

Homework: Essays due and must be handed in on Thursday. Make sure they are persuasive - not just information about your research; take a stand and ARGUE. Also, be sure to include in- line citations and a Works Cited page, as explained by Mrs. Berry.

Next day: Michelle will give a presentation on the beginning of MLK's Letter. Thanks, Michelle!
