Lesson Objectives - Students will review the concepts of argumentative writing.  They will then apply these concepts to two forms of public service announcements (PSA's).  Eventually, students will create their own public service announcements based on their own interests.  They will present these to the rest of the class by the end of the week.
Homework - Students will take their Vocabulary Unit 12 quiz tomorrow.  Flash Cards are due before the quiz.
