HONORS - Argument Practice

Your assignment: to brush up on your formal argument writing skills. We've practiced argumentation in a few forum discussions and, to a lesser extent, in our most recent Socratic seminar. Let's translate those argument skills back to writing. Our first big formal essay is coming up soon!

Select EITHER Chapter 48, which we used for our close reading activity, OR the selection from our Socratic seminar, Chapters 54-57. Write an argument of one paragraph defending a claim of your choosing. Here is the Google Presentation we looked at in October, which might help you write.

Don't forget:

• no first or second person pronouns
• use present tense
• use formal language (no contractions, slang)
• include textual evidence and provide citations :-)
