Homework for Thursday, February 7th

1. Complete the project proposal and post on your blog. When reading and responding to other proposals, look for necessay paper components the author may have missed. For example, is there mention of the history and background of the topic? Does it sound like enough support will be provided to support the argument?

2. Complete Research Exercise #2 and post on your blog. Please be diligent with both your attribution and in-text citations within your paragraphs. This activity provides great paraphrasing practice!

(Both of the above assignments will be given to you in class.)

3. Read 1 of the 6 argument essays that begin on page 582. On your blog, discuss whether your chosen essay contains the necessary argumentative components, or features, listed in the Norton Field Guide, which can be found in the chapter discussing writing in the argument genre. If the essay does not contain the necessary components, what is missing?
