Section 1 has a vocab quiz on unit 3 tomorrow.
All sections should be doing KBAR which is due Friday.
The Value of Work Essay and Presentation
For your next assignment, you are going to take a position on what you think is the value of work. In other words, why do we work? Do we all have to work?
When we finish this unit you will have read a number of pieces with themes about work. Those writers are trying to convey their wisdom to you through their written word.
A strong, well-constructed argument can convince readers to change their minds about an issue or to understand and accept an opposing view. You are pretty young to understand the value of work from personal experience. Your job in this essay is to weigh the evidence of others and decide for yourself. You will take a position and back up your reasons citing evidence from various sources.
(I will be making a web page with all the information soon. Students have a folder with everything they needs to prepare for the essay.)
