Claim Article Assignment           

Due March 6, 2015          

No Exceptions!

The purpose of this assignment is to mimic the articles we have been reading in class—you need to develop a claim and support it. The key is to choose something you are passionate about. The article needs to be supported by 3 sources, 2 web sources and 1 published source. This means you will need to go to the library or book store!  The article needs to be typed and resemble a newspaper or magazine article. Images are not required but are encouraged. The assignment needs to be a minimum of two pages.

NOTE: Several students need to come after school to finish their assessments. Do not forget that those assessments need to be completed by Wednesday February 11. No exceptions on this, I need to get them graded.
