Second Writing Assignment
 
For your second writing assignment, it should be posted digitally on the blog.  You must post one main post and a minimum of four mini posts on the blog for your peers to comment.  It can be about anything related to Units 3-5.  The purpose of writing is to give each student the freedom to express his/her ideas and thoughts in a safer environment, which hopefully will give us the opportunity to learn from each other.

 The main post should be a paragraph and should contain some of your own thoughts about a subject, which may even include some facts you have researched about the subject.  Your main post should have a position and should seek other’s opinion about your subject.  It is each student’s responsibility to maintain their own main post as other students comment on them.  If you neglect your main post, it will die, so you want to make sure to comment periodically to what other students have commented.
 
The four mini posts should be a response to another student’s post.  Support your ideas with facts and logical reasoning as to why you think the way you do instead of assuming the audience understands.  You may post more than four mini posts. Remember, you don’t necessarily have to have the answers or solutions to the post, but rather, can help to add to the question or help clarify the main post.  Just let your ideas flourish and see where it takes you.

Remember to be respectful even if the contents of the post are different from the opinions of our own. Also, remember to write your name on each comment to receive proper credit.

The writing assignment will be graded on the following:
 
l  Completion of all five posts—did the student complete 1 main post and 4 mini posts?
l  Content—Were the comments well thought out with reason and logic? Do they add to the post rather than to take away from the main post?
 
Good luck!  I’m looking forward to reading all of your responses!

Monday & Wednesday C3 Class Only ***Korean Philanthropist Assignment***

In Unit 3, we discussed money matters, a surplus or a lack there of.  In discussing charitable giving, your textbook defines a philanthropist as a rich person who gives money to help people who are poor or who need money to do useful things.  Read the article on Paul Newman; an actor and a philanthropist, on page 34. Name a Korean philanthropist you admire or have heard of. How does he/she contribute to better the society we live in? What charitable acts made this person famous? Do you admire this person? Why or why not?

 If you don't know of a Korean philanthropist, do a little research on the Internet to find one.  Please be careful and do not copy and paste from the Internet. 

Please make sure that your name is visible somewhere on your post as this writing will count as your attendance and  your participation for Monday.

Good luck!
