July 15, 2010

I'm looking forward to reading all your expository essays. Don't forget that the new Argumentative/Persuasive Prompt is due Tuesday, July 20. Check the syllabus for more details on that.

Here is an electronic link to A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift. Don't let the old language trip you up--this essay will be sure to surprise you.

Journal #13: Something I Hate
We're now getting into argumentative essays, so we want to explore where your strong feelings reside. For this prompt I want you to write about something you really hate. It can be something large or something minute. Explore it and why you hate it for 10 minutes. Then Part Two of this journal is to come up with possible solutions to this problem--write for another 5 minutes.
