Homework 3/9/09

Period 1
1. Read the prompt and outline sheet.
a. Underline any information that you must focus on in your prompt.
b. Use the graphic organizer to sort your ideas. Fill in the argument and your supporting ideas.
2. Fill out the outline template.
I know that there isn't much space, but remember that an outline is just the skeleton of your essay. When you begin writing, you begin to add the meat. Therefore, just include the main stuff.
Concrete Details (CD) are facts and points that are not your opinion.
Commentary Details (CM) are statements that support your facts or points and are generally your opinion.

Period 3
Write a 1/2 page response that summarizes and gives me your opinion on the presenters and the issues that they discussed. Tell me what we have read in our class or discussed in our English class that may somehow relate to the points they were making. Tell me whether you think that your teachers try to be socially just. Explain your answer.
If you were to become involved in supporting some type of revolutionary movement or cause what type of issue would you be inclined to be involved with?
