Homework for 6/7 May

For tonight you need to do a few things:

1. Get your parents and anyone else that you know who is registered to vote, to vote!
2. Read the next two chapters of The Color of Water.
3. Begin your position paper.

Your position paper will be no more than one page long and will concern your current topic. In the first sentence of your paper you will clearly state what your position is on the topic and why you feel that way. In the body paragraph you will give specific reasons why you feel the way you feel about your topic. Your conclusion will wrap up your argument in one sentence.

I'll give you more guidance on this next class.

We spent the last portion of class in the computer lab. In light of that, what is the English homework for the B1 class? Is it the same as what post I am responding to right now?

Correctamundo!

I don't understand what the "Position Paper" is. Does it have to do with our position on WMDs?

Daniel Miller said...

I'll explain more on that in class on Friday. Don't worry about it for now.

Hey Mr.Miller what if you've gone over one page...can you tweak the margins????????

Daniel Miller said...

Eric - You can tweak the margins a bit but you should probably try to cut a bit from your body paragraph. Remember that the goal is to make your point strongly in as few words as possible!


Good luck!

Hey, it's Evan.
Just wondering if you think it's a problem that I'm just about to start my position paper.

(Hint: Look at the post time)

Yeah, I'll try not to sleep through your class...

Hm, the time is set wrong. That should say 3:57 AM, not 12:57.
