Class Today: October 5th/6th

1. We are taking a practice EOC test at the beginning of the hour. This will set our baseline score. Our goal is to raise the baseline by the end of April when we take the state test.

2. Sentence conventions practice: USA Test Prep... Grammar and Usage Practice. Must pass with 80%.

Homework for Friday: 
3. You will need to think about the following prompts (which you notice are questions).
What is the answer of an intellectual question? Hint hint.

Three prompts for consideration:
              1. Should college be free? 
              2. Should high schools have the right to drug test? 
              3. Should a crime be considered more heinous if it is against a certain population? 

2. You need to go through steps 2-3 of writing to begin.

3. Next, please answer each prompt and format it as a thesis/claim. Go through and double check that it is arguable, topic has been minimized (if needed), and it has a direction of argument.

The prompt is considered a research question and you have now developed a workable thesis..
