Homework for 11/3

Hello folks, good work this week on getting through the concept of arguments and the argumentative paper. Special thanks to Cheri for sharing her work with the rest of the class.

For this next week

First: Root for the Giants! Go Giants!

Read: 

1) The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Please print this out, if you're able, so you can show active reading on it. We'll be referring to this in class and on your next paper. (Assignment to come.)

2) In Underground America let's continue with the narratives of Lorena (p. 181) and Desiree (p. 261)

Write:
Think about the 30 articles in the Declaration of Human Rights. Write a page and a half about what violations of these human rights you see Lorena and Desiree encounter. You can do this in your journal, to be checked off. (Consider this prewriting/freewriting for the prompt below.)

Lab/Online:
Continue working in Reading Plus by doing 3 SR, 1 iB and 1, RA
Learning Curve: this week we focus on Verbs! (one assignment here)

Start thinking about the following prompt for your next paper:

Argument: Drawing on at least two narratives in Underground America, expose experiences in which human rights have been violated according to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and/or the United States Constitution, including the right to freedom of speech. 

I will give you a more detailed explanation of the assignment in class.
