During Class on Thursday, March 7

In class on Thursday* you have three options:

1. Use a computer to complete the Malpais assignment on the class website. (Post in the appropriate comment box by class tomorrow.)

2. Use a computer to begin writing a draft of the consumerism and commodification synthesis essay. (A draft is due on Monday, March 11) (Notes: (1) The prompt is on the first page of the packet. (2) Use the maps you made/photographed yesterday to help organize the essay. (3) I encourage you to create a narrative opening, similar to the one in the locavore essay. (4) You must choose one of the two AP synthesis essay methods of citing texts.

1st text (Waterson) or (Source A)
