In-Class Activity

As promised, one of my goals this semester is to show you a lot of authentic writing--meaning writing that is done by real people for real reasons.  This is what I hope you will all be doing this semester as well. =)  In addition, reading other arguments is a great way to work on your reading skills as well.

In class today, read this article and follow the directions.  In order to mark up the text, you have a couple of options:

1. Copy the article your own Google Doc.  From there you can take notes and write your response and then share them with me.
2. Complete both notes (with paragraph numbers or other indicators of where in the text you're talking about) and the response in your journal which you can show me when you've completed it.
