Required: Draft a thesis statement and collect evidence for the biggest issues facing girls and young women.
Extra credit reading completion and comprehension:
Capture the conversation by playing the "believing game" that Graff describes in They Say, I Say" with the set of articles we discussed in class today. What do two of the writers claim are the issues facing girls and young women today? Choose two authors from the readings and precisely summarize and compare/contrast their arguments. Make sure to use precise rhetorical verbs and frame the quotations. Using the summary templates (both summary and quotations) from They Say, I Say will help you.
Tip: Make sure to compare and contrast the arguments and do not repeat each other (this makes getting it done early a good idea). Each article makes a unique argument about the issues facing boys and young men today. Let's wait until Friday to agree, disagree, or qualify the author's argument.
Requirements:
- Is fully developed; it’s the equivalent of one notebook page in length (200-300 words)
- Clearly states the writer's arguments
- Includes a minimum of two pieces of evidence from the text
- Is developed logically and coherently
- Uses varied sentence structure (questions/short sentences that pack a punch/effective and varied punctuation and word choice etc) and a conversational tone to engage the audience of your peers
- Contains few errors in spelling, grammar, and conventions
