English 9- Today I assigned the article Suicide by Choice Not So Fast. The two articles annotated and the questions for each will be due on Wednesday! Here are the questions if you need them:
PLEASE ANSWER ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER
Questions for the article:
“Suicide By Choice: Not So Fast” From the NY Times
1. Would the author have been a good candidate for assisted suicide? Why?
2. What do doctors think of the author?
3. How could a “loved one’s look of exhaustion” or “nobody wants you at the party” persuade one to pick assisted suicide?
4. Is the author for or against assisted suicide? Identify the author’s claim.
5. What are the author’s best examples of evidence supporting their claim?
Questions for the article:
“Assisted suicide: Jack Kevorkian was just a sideshow” From the LA Times
1. What does the author want to do? What is her problem?
2. What are some potential problems with assisting in someone’s death?
3. What does the author think the difference is between “killing someone” and assisted suicide?
4. How did the mother react to being given the option of “suicide?”
5. What is the author’s claim? Write out the actual line you identified for the claim
6. What are the author’s best examples of supporting evidence?
v Lastly, after reading these two articles look at the types of evidence, the authors and the publications. Regardless of your stance on assisted suicide, decide which article supported their claim the best.
