This Week's Agenda: Persuasive Writing and Research Skills
Monday: Intro to Persuasive Writing, Persuasive Writing Background Information
Tuesday -Persuasive Essay - Should College Athletes Be Compensated?
Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday - Historical Event Research
Homework Due Wednesday: Choose a time period in history that you would like to research. Be somewhat specific. Don't choose World War II as it is too broad; instead you could choose The Battle of Normandy. You can also choose more recent events such as 911 or Columbine. The only catch is you will need to be able to find a book written about your subject.
