Wed. Sept. 24, 2014

Today, I gave you another reading in relation to the issue of changing Canada’s national anthem ("Interim councillor calling for "O Canada" change). This one provides a lot of background on the anthem (something you will need for your first full writing assignment). It also provides you with a lot of opinions on the issue! I want you to do the following:
·       Actively read the article and the comments.
·       Determine who is in support of the change and who isn’t (I just write “yes” and “no” beside each comment).
·       Determine who has a logical argument and who is just rambling or is providing no opinion (I just write “log.” and “nope” beside the comment – create your own legend!!!
·       Do not hand this in (I will do a walk-through tomorrow). If you have time left over, read your novel.
·       Some of you also have received your paragraphs back. Start working on what I have instructed from you. 
      If you were not here, this article can be Googled and read at home. It will also be in your portfolio.
