Week of 2/2-2/6

Exams are over! Time to get back to the fun stuff!

Remember to request access to the Argument wiki. Once in, change your name from your email to your actual first name and last initial, if necessary. Select your top three choices of topics; put my name in parentheses after your name when you add yourself to the teams.

Create an account at Opposing Views using your blog name. Begin to investigate the topics. Add comments and then link those comments to the wiki. Use the tutorial on the wiki if you're not sure how to do that.

I'll add more details as the other teachers and I iron them out.

For Tuesday, go to room 438 for the senior survey and local scholarship application info.

For Wednesday, read and annotate Barack Obama's Inaugural Address.

For Thursday, read several articles assessing Obama's rhetoric.

For Friday, compare Obama's speech to Creon's in Antigone and G. W. Bush's first Inaugural.

For Monday, write your own Inaugural. Have fun!
