Only 4 Classes Remain!

For next Thursday you will want to complete the following:

1. Study for the chapter 18 & 19 vocal quiz. Be sure that you are working on your sentences and properly using semicolons and commas.
2. Complete reading lab #8: by answering 1-10 and the discussion questions 1 and 3 (or 4).
3. Type and Revise your timed essay for either Julia or James. Make sure the essay is MLA formatted. 

Also, as you move through this week, watch out for and observe the different ways we are persuaded and how others might try to persuade us to believe an issue. Also, how is it you argue and how do others argue around you? What do you notice about the information used in those arguments?
