Writing+an+Argument

Below is a copy of the argumentative assignment (test grade) Below are sources for those students who want to write on the death penalty. Below is the rubric I will use to grade the argumentative essays. If students choose to use sources in their argument of choice, then they need to not only cite those sources within their papers, but they also need to provide a Works Cited page. [|Easybib.com]is one of my favorites to use, for it not only sets up bibliographies in the correct order, but it can generate a correctly formatted works cited page.
 * Here are the files that were on the homepage.**

Below is the graphic organizer.

We took notes on elements of argumentation for a daily grade (see picture below)
 * Wed/Thurs (11/30 and 12/1)**

[|We also read]and [|watched "I Have a Dream]" and identified the general claim, MLK's point of view, and together we identified what he was trying to prove or show in his argument. Below is an example of what I wrote for MLK's speech. Next, I gave students a copy of [|Robert F. Kennedy's speech]"On the Death of Martin Luther King, Jr.," watched the [|Youtube version of his speech], and had students individually identify the same elements. A grade was taken on this as well.

On Friday, 12/2, we read and analyzed "In Praise of the F Word," written by Mary Sherry. Any students who were absent will need to get a handout from me as I do not have an electronic file of the exact handout I passed out.
