Writing Week#11

WRITING WEEK 11

Finally, we meet mask to mask.

We're still at home and online.

Here's the plan.
  • Tuesday: 1 hour online
  • Wednesday: 2 hours in class.

Tuesday

Please use this one hour to catch up on your writing assignments.
  • Finish the first draft of something if not done yet.
  • Rewrite an earlier draft

Wednesday

We will start two activities: one long and one short.

I will use the rest of the time to provide writing feedback.

Part 1: Did she lie?

Look at this murder mystery picture

This is what she told the police.

Yesterday, Queenie and her husband Arthur an argument. She left the house and met friends in a bar. Arthur went to a different bar. She said she left the bar at about 1am and asked her friends to come to her house for a drink.

She said she arrived home at 1:30 am. Her friends got to her house about 10 minutes later, about 1:40 am.

When the friends arrived, she opened the door and was shocked. She said something bad happened.

Her husband fell down the stairs. He was coming down for another drink.
She called the police.

The police report said he died from a head injury and he was drunk when he died.


Do you believe here? Explain your answer with facts and cause and effect connections.

Part 2: data analysis and arguments

So far we have completed three writing exercises that are designed to help you create clear arguments.

Here is a list:
  • is life a journey?
  • income and life span (based on video)
  • electric car analysis
Let's do one more.
