REMINDER! The last day to turn in any missing work, redo any tests or assignments is December 20th by 3:15 p.m. 

Do Now
  • If you were gone, begin the Grammar Exam 1.1 posted on Google Classroom
  • Fill out the "Daily Check in"
  • Fill out the yellow Argument Writing unit overview sheet (at the front of the class)

ASSIGNMENT
Reviewed the upcoming essay assignment: Argumentative Essay: Living a Good Life
  • Brain​storm ideas for the three prompt choices
  • Select your strongest brainstorm and develop a thesis that is
    • Arguable! You are entitled to an opinion. Your opinion is valid and has value. 
      Supportable! The thesis statement itself is not a fact statement but is stated as fact (does not have an "I think" or "the reader can see" statement) and can be backed up with evidence.
      Specific! This opinion should be more than just agreement or disagreement with an idea. Your opinion loses its value and validity if you cannot communicate it effectively and efficiently.
  • Begin planning claims and evidence to support your thesis using the essay organizer.

Tomorrow you will be given time to continue planning/writing your essay OR work on the test retake form from last week's grammar exam.
