We went over in class how to do a "Position Paper". A senior exhibition POV was given as example and we went over different aspects of the POV (intro, evidence, explanation how evidence ties to argument).
For HW, you are to do a few things: (1) come up with your own defintion of the American dream you will use in your position paper, (2) answer to the EQ prompt (this is your thesis) and start on the outline of your "body"- you need to have 3 different claims, provide evidence/proof and explain how evidence/proof support your claim. Your last part of your outline is the conclusion- provide plan of action- what needs to happen to make the dream a reality or continue to happen if you argue the dream is a reality.
Outline is due tomorrow to your Humanities teacher 75 project points!!!!
