Yo! 8 o’clock class and 1 o’clock class do this…

1. Click here and read “Let My Students Drink.”

2. Click here and read the comments about “Let My Students Drink.”

3. *Add your own comment at the bottom of that comments page.*

4. Type up two pages (remember MLA format) discussing the article. Did you agree with it? Disagree? Why? Why not? Were you drunk while you were reading it? (I kid.)

5. Include in your discussion one comment you agreed with, one comment you disagreed with, and your own comment–the one you posted online.

6. This is due Wednesday, January 28, classtime.

7. Remember: Your personal ad is due Monday.

Yo! 2 o’clock class do this…

1. Write a 2-3 page argumentative paper on one of the following topics of your choice:

  • Marijuana should be legal/illegal, because…
  • Dogfighting should/should not be a felony, because…
  • The legal drinking age should be __, because…
  • Laws to ban texting while driving should/should not be passed, because…
  • Britney Spears should/should not hook up with Mr. Beasley, because…

This paper is due classtime, Wednesday, January 28.

2. Click here to see the reading list for this semester. The links there will take you to Amazon.com so you can read a short summary of all the books and see some reader’s comments on each one. (You can also see the used price and new price for each book, should you decide to buy it.) You will have to write a 2-3 page review of the first half of the book, due at mid-term, and a 2-3 page review of the second half of the book, due by the last day of class. You have a week and a half to choose your book. Be prepared to tell me what it is at the start of class Wednesday, February 4.
