AGENDA 4/8

Review answers to multiple-choice practice (Swift & Plessy passages)

Introduce "Synthesis 2.0": discuss differences between this and "Synthesis 1.0"


Synthesis 2.0: NOT a simple defend-challenge-qualify

Instead, you are asked to weigh all of the evidence and make an informed recommendation or establish & rank the criteria by which a decision should be made.

The important thing is to assert WHAT should be considered or examined--to provide a focus and recommend a policy or course of action.

Like synthesis 1.0 (argument synthesis), you MUST use 3+ sources well and attribute sources clearly in order to receive higher than a 4.
