For Thursday, April 23

Here is the link to the ny times debate room stream...does poetry matter.  Read through the discussion...take 15 minutes to do this.  If you do not get to all 7 articles, that is fine.  You just need to cite three articles.

Set your timer on 40 minutes.  Write a synthesis essay which is driven by your personal opinion.  In this case, the entire stream of the discussion within the debate room is one side...contending that poetry does matter.  If you disagree, you will
give your point of view with personal examples and then cite 3 of the sources in your counter argument paragraph.
