Have a wonderful holiday!!!!!
Remember that you’ll need to spend some time working on your researched argument. Take your book home as you’ll need it to pick your specific question. Remember that you’ll need to do this in full MLA format. The Easybib and OWL links to the right will help with your works cited page and the Owl Page has sample MLA style pages. Everything should be as in the sample page, including the name and page number in the header; however, the heading (name, teacher, class, date) should be single spaced instead of double. This one is worth 150 pts and will be due January 8th.
Any questions, feel free to email me at mr.giddings@comcast.net
Here’s the Researched Argument Paper assignment in case you lost yours. 
Merry Christmas!
Extra Credit? Can you find a hole in this argument?
Write up an argument analysis with an eye to establishing its foolproof construction or its downfall. I will give extra credit for a well-done analysis (it is Christmas after all). If you don’t want the extra credit, just watch the video for your own interest in his argument.

Work first, then party…
Tomorrow we’ll be doing some more work with the multiple choice packets as well as looking at how the AP test is scored (by request–what service!). We’ll also be reading and discussing the essay taken from The Destruction of Culture on page 922 of our textbooks.
On Wednesday, we’ll make sure there are no questions about the paper before break and having a bit of a party. We’ll talk about who would like to bring what as far as food and drinks tomorrow.

To C or not to C? Depends on whether or not you know the answer…
Ah, multiple choice. It seems like it should be so easy…
For this evening, work on the first ten questions in your packet. They are the ones that go with the reading that begins “It is not easy to write a familiar style.”
- For all the questions, identify what type of question it is. For instance, is it a diction question or does it deal with description, tropes, antecedents, etc.?
- For the questions you missed, figure out why you missed it. To do this, look at the line of thinking that led to your answer and then examine the line of thinking that leads to the correct answer. Make sure you know why the correct answer is the correct answer.
Tomorrow we will take a look at one way gender is affecting the current election and you will have the opportunity to defend, challenge, or qualify the assertion: the angel in the house is dead and no longer lives in the imaginations of either women or men.

All right folks. There’s a bit less for homework tonight. Read Being a Man on page 378 and do questions 2, 4-7 a the end of the article.
You say potato, I say patahto…
Read About Men and There is No Unmarked Woman in your textbook. For About Men, blog questions 4 & 7. For There is No Unmarked Woman, blog questions 3, 5, & 6.
Then blog your reflections on how gender stereotypes affect both society and the individual. Be specific.
