Short Essay Day

First of all, when you use subordination, you create dependent clauses.

Do Ex. 30.19 on pages 59-60 in the Everyday Writer exercise book.

Now. Have you heard of  TED?  We watch this.   What is Mike Rowe's point?  What did he get wrong?  What does he want to do?

So, in the interest of helping him, write a one page freewrite on the topic of the benefits of hard work.  He uses the phrase, the "forgotten benefits" of hard work.  Who should you imagine for an audience?  In addition, you can consider the importance of "getting things wrong." What then?

Homework:

1.  Proofread and prepare the final version of your Rhetorical Analysis.

2.  Think about the prompt and be ready to type and hand in a short essay on the prompt tomorrow by the end of class. Fill one page in your daybook prewriting on this topic.
