Description: Students will continue to hone their reading and analytical skills, while building on their practice of annotation, brainstorming and outlining. They will read more sophisticated material (NYT, WAPO, WSJ etc) and, starting with a library research/citation workshop, learn to use the internet and other sources to research topics both closely and tangentially related to their essay topic. They will also begin to evaluate the reliability of sources. Students will consider higher level ideas, use more sophisticated vocabulary and will employ more critical thinking skills as they develop connections between the arguments in their text, their own arguments, and the arguments they find in their research.<br />
