We are going to put Steps 1-6 of Writing in to practice. You will be building a "paper" from the ground up. You will not be writing the full paper. We are just practicing the paper process up through the Extended Paragraph Structure from the following question:
- Should punishment be the main purpose of prison? Or should rehabilitation be the main purpose of prison instead of punishment? Why?
1. First, we will be watching a 60 Minutes interview to get you thinking about your approach to your argument. You will want to take notes to help you have evidence for Step 6 of Writing.

2. Second, you will read an article about Arizona's tent jail. Washington Post- Year spent in Tent Jail. Again, you will want to take notes to help you with evidence for Step 6.
3. You will then, knowing you are writing to a formal audience (Step 1), Brainstorm... Breakdown the topic.... Thesis.... Basic Paragraph Structure. . . Extended Paragraph Structure.
For this exercise- REASON #1 and coinciding examples for your Basic Paragraph Structure/Extended Paragraph Structure will be your COUNTERCLAIM. (The opposite stance)
You will turn in all 5 Steps of Writing (2-6). Steps 2-5 can be handwritten. Please type up your extended paragraph structures. Staple everything together.
