Class Work

1. The comparison/contrast essay is due. Place the final copy on top of the draft and peer editing notes. (You may submit this after spring break.)
2. Let's look back at "Saving the Songs of the Sea." What emotionally charged words do you see? To what extent was the use of emotion in the essay persuasive?
3. Read "The Bounty of the Sea." How was this argument developed? Were there any claims? What were the reasons? Is there any evidence?

Note: Effective arguments use claims supported by reasons and backed up by evidence. (Write Now...page: TBA

3.  Working on evidence: Take a look at your topic. What will you claim? Why will you make the claim? What evidence do you need to prove your point?
4. Learn to create a Working Bibliography.

Homework

Finish any outstanding work.

Look for evidence from at least three sources to support your claims and reasons for the Mother Nature topic. Start your Works Cited page. Annotate your sources. This will be a Working Bibliography.

Reminder: EMCC is closed next week.
Happy Spring!
