For the second half of the show, we will be working on time awareness and management while writing argumentative introductions. Given an article on the FBI and Apple conflict of last year, you read background of the 2 sides and then crafted one introductory paragraph. The time limit = 10 minutes. As noted by the majority of students (notice I did not say "all" and avoided a hasty gen), 10 minutes feels like forever when writing one individual paragraph. We will continue these timed paragraphs for the rest of the week - with a minute less each time around.
Your daily reminders of substantial assignments:
- The final draft of the flaw essay is due by 3:30 p.m. WEDNESDAY in hard copy. If absent all day, you will need to e-mail/share and then turn in a hard copy to me the next day. If absent for part of the day, you are still required to turn this in hard copy form by the given deadline.
- The lack of t-shirt designs is disheartening. I am extending this through Thursday so that we can have more options.
- The tone quest is tomorrow. Make sure to review your tone words.
- March 8 is the last day to register and pay for the AP exams.
