Day Twenty-Five / 10.12.10

Today we started with a quote from Alexander Hamilton, "Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything." Then we finished reading the article by Steve Almond. We outlined his persuasive progression. For homework, you're to do the assignment below.

Use 3 things from your list of "20 Things You Know a Lot About" to come up six (6) thesis argument statements. I.E. If one of the things you know a lot about is snowboarding, you'd write:

1. It takes more skill and coordination to snowboard than to ski.

2. To become a good snowboarder, you must ride a Burton Snowboard.

An example of what you should not do is:

Snowboarding - have board and ride on snow.
