Lesson 4 Due Today, Student Sample, and all Graded

Dear Class, Remember that your Lesson 4 submission is due today. A few people haven't correctly addressed the Issue/Claim/Opposing Claim "because" questions in Lessons 3 and 4, so I'm providing a student sample to bring you back on track. On the lesson 3 submission page, Rebekah Cockrell provided this demonstration regarding the issue: "Should The Giver, by Lois Lowry, be taught in high school?: "My Claim: “The Giver” should be read in every high school because… It shows that creativity is essential in every persons life The “Perfect” society is not the ideal society It teaches that beings should make choices on their own to learn the best It teaches that love is an important part of every person’s life and that lives can be changed by pure love It teaches the morals and virtues should be upheld and that one must always do what is right The Opposing Claim: “The Giver” should not be read in high school because… It teaches disobedience against the ruling force whether it be school leaders, government officials, or parents It shows negative light on unity or similarities within a nation It develops the idea that one cannot control ones urges and feelings Make sure you provide the issue, thesis claim, and oppositional thesis claim on your Lesson 4 Submission page. Thanks to Rebekah for providing a clear sample. Also, I am pleased to announce that I have graded everything anyone has submitted for class. Please check your grades, and look to see my additional feedback as well. I am finishing up next week's lessons, and should have my notes for next week completed in the next few hours. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about class so far. I am praying for you, and cheering you on every step of the way. Love, Sister Bowen
