Summary/Strong Response Paper

We are starting work on the Summary/Strong Response Paper (Chapter 6).Click on the assignment link (in the last sentence) and read the "Assignment" description, information about "Topic Choices," and the first few steps in the "Writing Process" to get an overview of the assignment.

Before beginning work on this paper, students must complete these three assignments this week:

• Read Chapter 6 (homework).
• Complete "On Teenagers and Tattoos" work.
• Find and print 2-3 interesting somewhat-controversial articles.

"On Teenagers and Tattoos" work (A&B pp. 110-113)

Take the survey, read the article, and complete the assignments at the end.

 Find and print 2-3 interesting somewhat-controversial articles

To write the paper, each student must have a somewhat-controversial article to evaluate. You will be more engaged in the paper if you're evaluating an article you're interested in responding to. So before beginning work on the paper, I want my students to help identify interesting articles that might be used to write the paper. Go to Pioneer On-Line Library, SIRS Knowledge Source, Pro/Con articles, and browse the topics and and skim articles. By the end of the class Thursday, print the best 2-3, put your name on them, and give them to me (well, the sub since I will be gone Thursday).
