Here's a look at the coming week: Our focus this week will be on argumentative writing, starting with analysis of Thomas Jefferson's argument in "The Declaration of Independence" and then moving on to Benjamin Banneker's letter to Thomas Jefferson, decrying slavery.
On Wednesday, we will come back to the modern era as you research a controversial topic of your own, finding two opposing articles on the topic, analyzing their effectiveness, and writing a short paper that pulls ideas from both to support your position/claim about your chosen topic.
Lots more details will follow in class, and I will post relevant handouts on this site.
