Argument

Good Morning!

1. Independent Reading -- Please have your independent reading on Monday and we will resume independent reading at the beginning of class. Again, thank you for doing such a great job with the oral book reviews.

2.  Example of Argument Essay -- Yesterday we looked at some of the basic features of an argument essay, though the essay otherwise had some flaws. I was curious about a few of the ideas in the essay, so I did a little bit of a search on the topics.

Current Extinction Rates
Rainforest

3. Article : "Mom Cybershames Daughter for Online Bullying. Who's the Bully Now?"  -- Read the article and decide on a position to take.  Formulate reasons for your position.  On the back of the handout 1. indicate your position, 2. give 3 reasons for your position.  In a group of four discuss your positions and reasons.

Homework:  Select an independent reading book and bring it to class on Monday.
