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.

Intro and Body Paragraph due Tuesday

This might take a bit longer than I thought, so I'm making it due Tuesday. Please, however, do not try to do it all Monday night.

This should be hand written.

Step 1:

Please watch the slideshow available here. Much of this will be review, but it's important review.


Step 2:

Please read the following synthesis essay documents available here. Two of the documents could not be posted on the AP site for copyright reasons. One is available if you follow this link. (This is an external site, so I do not endorse any ads or content you might encounter.) The other is excerpted and available here.

Step 3:

After reading the articles, please write an introduction and one body paragraph in response to the topic. Your focus should be on creating an argumentative tone, so you may need to refer to the slides that you just watched AND to trying some more sophisticated elaboration of evidence.
