Thursday, April 17

You have two options for regular 20 point Friday writing prompt.

The first is to choose a prompt from the end of chapter 10, p. 437. This was the chapter that focused on crime and violence in society. You'll receive bonus points for using new vocabulary specific to that chapter (we tested on that last week).

The second option is to choose a line from the chapter 5 essay, p. 164, "Teenagers in Dreamland." Either argue for it or against it, using evidence and details to back up your position.

Your focus is the ideas & content trait. Focus your topic, use memorable details, and leave no questions in your reader's mind.
