Lucy Claims

Today was our first official work day for the Lucy Argument, which will feature your response to the following prompt: Who is the real Lucy Grealy? As noted in class and through examples, you want a claim that has a plethora of evidence from multiple sources, a counterclaim that can have its own evidence, and a rebuttal that returns the focus on the argument's original position. You will have Tuesday as a second work day, but you are more than welcome to work on this essay at home or during study hall opportunities. The final time to turn in this essay is 3 p.m. on Wednesday - in hard copy form. 

Meanwhile, we will review for the final on Wednesday by returning to a rhetorical analysis prompt and strategies. If you have not committed these to memory over the past 4 months, this would be an excellent time to do so! The final is just two parts this year, rhetorical analysis and a toolbox quiz without the aid of your toolbox, so this is an assessment reflecting exactly what we have done this semester.
