Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Outline Due Tuesday 4/17

Before reading the passages, please complete the speech assignment from the previous post.


Please read the documents for the Honor Code Synthesis prompt that are available here. Create an outline of paraphrases/quotations (at lease half should be paraphrases) that will allow you to address your argument on the issue. Most likely a source will either 1. agree with your claim 2. present a counterargument (antithesis) that you want to acknowledge as valid or 3. present a counterargument that you wish to refute which will then allow you to support your original claim.

On your outline, please create a place where you write down specific evidence that you can use that is not from one of the documents. This could be personal anecdote, current event, historical event, etc.

If your reading of the documents results in you changing your original opinion about the issue, that is okay.
