Today the group debates were held.
Homework:
1) Continue drafting your Research essays. Using your outline, develop the body points into full paragraphs. Please note you will need to have a full draft of your essay for our last Peer Review Workshop to be held on 12/3.
2) I will be giving you class time to work on your Oral Presentation for the Research Project (to be presented 12/5 and 12/10), so bring in any materials to class on Wednesday. You may bring in a laptop to work on the PPT presentation.
3) Finish essay on two articles we read on GMOs. Due in class on 11/28.
Prompt: Evaluate the strength of the arguments posed by JoAnna Wendel and John Robbins in their respective articles. First, clearly state in your own words what they each argue. Then, go through each of their main points and analyze their weakness/strengths based on the way they unfold and the evidence provided. Finally, based on this analysis, conclude which author has a more convincing article (in terms of evidence, credibility, attention to audience, persuasiveness, language, etc.).
4) Prepare for the cumulative grammar quiz by reviewing all of our previous quizzes and the readings in our Grammar Guide. Quiz will be given next week. *This will be your last opportunity to improve your overall grammar quiz grade.
