The following assignment is a double homework grade since we started it in class! Please take it very seriously since it is an important introduction to the synthesis essay, one of which you will be writing on the May AP exam!!!
Please read all of Chapter 3 -- "Synthesizing Sources: Entering the Conversation" -- from LOC by Tuesday, when you will take a DELIGHTFUL quiz on this chapter.
You also need to do the following:
a) p. 68 -- Answer questions #1-7
b) Skip the "assignment" on p. 72
c) Conversation section starting on p. 74
1. Write a thesis statement that clearly communicates your position on the community service issue outlined on p. 74 (indented portion of text)
2. For each of the seven sources/texts on pp. 75-81, write one to two sentences explaining how you could use the source to support your position, OR, how the opposition could use that source to argue against your position. You could also consider explaining how you could use the source as a concession or counterargument to your position.
THANK YOU!
