Today Ms. Metz discussed how we will be writing a paper about our notes on Plagiarism and cheating. We will write one to two paragraphs in an argumentative form. This should take a stance about plagiarism & cheating and back it up. Not only should you recognize your claim but also acknowledge the opposing viewpoint. The informative writing can be organized by problem/solution, cause and effect, compare/contrast, chronological order, or classification. The narrative can be a story about anything that includes your notes. This can be in first person, third person limited or third person omniscient. WARNING: no first or second person can be used on the argumentative or informative writings. Avoid using the words: this, that, these, or those.
NO extra research or a citation page is required on your paper. All information comes directly from your notes (check for notes on the blog if you missed them) The assignment is due Friday as three separate pieces.
