Argument Essay: 2 Bullet Points/Night



As we have been working through Three Cups of Tea, there have been three themes that stand out. Those topics are as follow: empowerment of education, value of tradition and culture, and persistence no matter the cost. We began thinking about and practicing research/research techniques last week. Before the long weekend, students declared a topic (from the list that was given) to do their individual research on. Today, we started the individual research; tomorrow, we will state our positions (claim/thesis) and narrow in on the declared topic. At this point in the research, students should be compiling a total of three articles and twenty bullet points. The articles should come from the iLibrary from IMCPL Databases and/or Scholastic News Online (links to both sites are on the left-hand side of the blog). Students should not use Google or Bing to find the articles and/or bullet points. The articles and bullet points are a part of an ongoing assignment; therefore, there is no set due date as of yet.
Students should be working on gathering about two bullet points a night.
