Writing class Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Today I gave you a few different topics to write about. I asked you to pick ONE topic and the idea was to write an argumentative text using the guidelines we have talked about in class.

The topics were:

Money makes you happy
Money does not make you happy

Teenagers need rules
Teenagers do not need rules

Sweden is a great country
Sweden is not a great country

Grades are important
Grades are not important.

The structure you needed to use was:

Introduction
Background
Thesis (main point)
Argument 1
Argument 2
Argument 3
Conclusion

It seemed to me that some of you thought this was a difficult task. We probably need to spend Thursday's class on argumentative writing as well. Be there!
