Please remember, writing assignments require three drafts: a first draft, a second draft, and a final (graded) draft. The Writing Assignment due date listed below is for the final (graded) draft, so plan accordingly.
Reading Assignment: Social Media: Friend or Foe? by Kara Woodridge
Please note, since you have extended time on the Unit 4 essay, the assessment test for this unit will be due before the essay.
In this unit, the video narrators will guide you as you explore persuasive reading and writing and as you learn to recognize bias. You will explore the differences between fact and opinion and discover how opinions often shape the way arguments are made. You will read Social Media: Friend or Foe? by Kara Woodridge.
Write an essay explaining your position on whether or not social media is a friend or foe and why you feel the way you do. Additionally, you will benefit from practice using commas with introductory phrases and transitions, working toward having consistent parallel structure in your writing, and effectively using adjectives and adverbs.
