Wednesday through Friday, 2/11-2/13

Wednesday:
Complete your persuasion map for the upcoming essay.
Essay prompt:
Should the Federal Government implement stricter controls on reports of CIA activity in the future?

Persuasion map instructions:
In the Introduction box, write a thesis statement. To do this, just flip the question into a statement that supports your claim.

Main Reasons:
In these boxes write the most compelling reasons that defend your thesis. If you are struggling to find a third reason, you can write a counterargument for Main Reason #3.

Facts or examples:
Use the texts from class ("Pro/Con", "Is Terror Ever Justified?") to find evidence to support your reasons. All evidence on the persuasion map must be cited with parenthetical citations; e.g. (Smith 6).

Conclusion:
Sum up your main points in one to two sentences.

This is a framework for our essay, so fill it out as completely as you can.


Thursday and Friday:
Biography/Autobiography Unit pre-assessment
Transfer information from persuasion map into ACES template.
