Homework for Thursday, 12/11

1. For Thursday, please bring one copy of your paper. This is your graded draft. Make sure the draft is stapled (I will NOT accept a paper without a staple). Please carefully review the assignment sheet to make sure that you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing with this paper. Additionally, today in class I suggested that your paper should have at least the following sections (there may be additional sections, depending on your individual project):

Section 1: Introduction: Identify the problem. (paragraph -- one page)
Section 2: Present your argument for how we should address the problem. (one paragraph or so)
Section 3: (the MAIN section of the paper) Present reasons for your argument/proposal. (2-3 pages)
Section 4: Acknowledge and respond to criticisms or likely objections to your proposal. (paragraph-page)
Section 5: Close (paragraph or so)

2. Your final reading. Please download and read the pdf document called Richardson1.pdf. It's up on our google groups page under "Files." It's short and not a difficult read. It briefly sums up many of the concepts we've been discussing/investigating this semester.

That's it. Good luck. See you Thursday.
