Block D
Today we'll be continuing our work on compare and contrast writing. How do we turn planning into a full essay? What kinds of transitions are useful to make my essay read easily?
Block C
Today we'll be back on to silent reading. Please hand in your menu projects, as they are now past due.
Block B
This is our last day to work on our political spectrum projects. Yes - you must complete both A and B. See the board for more details. If you are still looking for topics to discuss, you might consider:
- Taxes: Who will pay to help run your country? Rich people? Poor people? Everyone the same amount?
- If you are looking for ideas, you could discuss some issues that many political parties like to talk about, such as:
- Garbage disposal
- Traffic problems
- Free education or private education?
- Free university?
- Cost of public transit?
- How much money will you spend on the military? (right wing positions tend to spend more on military, left wing spend less, with the exception of communism)
- Housing? Will there be support housing for people with less money?
- Jails - how severely should we punish convicted criminals? Is Jail meant for rehabilitation and recovery? Or should jail be used to keep criminals out of society?
Block A
Today we'll be gluing our posters together so that we'll be ready to go tomorrow. By the end of this class, your posters should be 100% done and ready for tomorrow. You may leave them here overnight so we can use them first thing in the morning.
