Whichever you choose, make sure you can provide good supporting details to PROVE your position. Fill in your paragraph planning sheet & use it to write a proper paragraph. Make sure to use the writing techniques from the LP lessons (ts, pee, transitions) in your response. DOUBLE SPACED. IN PEN!

ENGLISH 9 – 2.4
HOMEWORK: Due Wed
- Values pkg – Read & highlights & do Qs #1-2 – “Should you be rewarded for effort?”
- Journal #4 – in an INformal (double space & use pen, but don’t worry about structure) response consider what you think – do you agree with Confucius that only the end result matters? Or do you agree more with E. Dickinson that effort & trying is more important? Use the reading & Qs to help you come up with your opinion. Consider yourself too! Are there things that just come easy to you and others that you have to put in a lot of effort for a limited result? Should you be marked or rewarded for how hard you work?
- Now use your ideas in your INformal journal to fill in the Paragraph Structure sheet. Write in a topic sentence (ts) and supporting details (PEE) like we practice in LP. Make sure your ts is clear and states your topic and make sure your PEE supports your ts.
- We will be debating/discussing this topic next class, so make sure you have an opinion and good reasons why you believe what you believe!
