We had a wonderful activity this week in which we discussed this topic. You were assigned a side (literature following rules v. literature breaking rules) and had to defend it.
I want to take a moment to congratulate you for defending your positions so fervently! I was pleasantly surprised by how many interesting arguments you had and by how seriously you took it! I hope you keep working this hard and caring so much about the class. That way, we will get very far ;)
The following assignment will be our way of tying loose ends and giving a closure to the debate. I have done some research and found a few articles I think will give you a different point of view on the topic.
I want you to write a one-page essay on your thoughts after reading these articles. What to consider before writing your essay?
1) Use correct grammar, punctuation and capitalization (they will be evaluated).
2) Read it to pick up any mistakes and make the corrections.
3) Choose one main idea to express your opinion. If you try to cover too many points, the essay will not be as effective (and will be harder to write).
4) You can always contact me for assistance or clarifying any doubts or concerns.
5) Format: 12pt; Times New Roman; 2 line spacing
6) Due Date: The week of Sept 12th
HOWEVER, before turning in the essay, you must do an outline for your essay which will be checked the previous week. Use the following structure as a basis. This should allow to have a well organized, coherent essay.
