5/5: You should be writing your draft argument for "Dear Next Generation-Sorry" and "In Praise of Feeling Bad About yourself." Keep in mind what we talked about when we looked at my paragraph - you need a strong topic sentence that lays out your argument, then you need to make your argument, using two pieces of evidence from each poem. Remember to put the evidence in context first (remember too that evidence does not necessarily need to be a quote - a strong paraphrase might work just as well), then present the evidence and make your argument (analyze it in terms of what you say you are proving). Share the draft with me on Google Docs (your password is your student I.D. - the Media Center Specialists can look that up for you). My draft paragraph is the 2nd page of "Synthesis Dear Future…" attached below, in case you need to see it again.
