Thanksgiving Synthesis

Head over to your google classroom to open the prompt for this blog assignment. I was not able to put a live link on here because it is not a file I was able to share publicly.

Synthesize This

 So, writing an argument paper that is research based helps teach you how to do two things:

1. How to structure an argument

2. How to synthesize sources

So, I am putting a link in here to a synthesis essay from a past exam. I want you to follow the directions carefully, and write the essay into this blog post. Be sure to time yourself. You have 15 minutes to review the sources and choose which ones you will be using, and then 40 minutes to write the actual essay. We are looking for progress here, not perfection. Good luck!

Here is the link to the prompt I would like you to tackle today in class since I did not post a blog this past weekend. This essay is written in the same spirit as "Mother Tongue", but Amy Tan. This is just an excerpt, but the essay is fantastic and worth reading. Here is a link to that must in case you are interested.
