Lesson Objectives - After their quiz on "The Eternal Frontier," students will compose a list of possible persuasive essay topics. Students will choose their essay topic and begin brainstorming arguments and organizing their information in order to create a rough draft. The final draft will count as a test grade. More details will follow.
Homework - Students can complete quiz corrections for additional homework credit. This is the final homework assignment for the 3rd marking period.
