You will have two blog posts this week:
1.) Reading response to your current outside reading book. Make sure to include your reading times. See your routines document for suggested formats. Read some good samples pointed out in the post below, and remember to keep the focus on your ideas, not summarizing what happened. Support your claims with evidence and specific examples.
2.) Assigned post: "In Defense of _____________: A ______________'s Manifesto" Use the argument strategies we have been talking about to write an impassioned defense of some aspect of your day to day life that you feel needs defending. Present strong reasons why this concept or practice needs defending and what must be done to defend it. Support your reasoning with evidence and examples. And make it interesting (but school appropriate).
