Please join my new Google Classroom before our class on January 4th.

Argumentative/Persuasive Writing:
This first draft is basically your script for the flipgrid/video that you posted on 12/9. Eventually, we will turn this into a more formal letter/paper due next semester.
First draft: Letter/paper/script completed by the end of class on 12/10-12/11

This is due during your class period.

10 points for thesis
5 points for logos, pathos and ethos.
This is a project grade. Cite your sources by using intext citations.

You may use this outline if you like. It seems a bit simpler. Outlines are due by the end of class either on 11/19 or 11/20.
Use it to record your flipgrid. No required zoom on 11/19-20.

We will complete this during class.

Reminder: Make a copy of your previous handout and submit it here. You may have to unsubmit your first two questions for the previous Socratic Seminar.
Remember: you must have questions and answers with textual evidence to support your answers. You must participate in the discussion without dominating.
