Monday, 12/2/13 - Late Start Schedule
Copy homework? into assignment book. Hmmmm. Let's read one side of the story.

Continue from last week:
Leonard addresses four main points: affordability, health, taste, and environmental issues throughout her argument. She argues that tap water wins on all four points.
Make a chart like this for each point: (I did the first one for you. Sort of. OK, Let's do it together.)
Main Point
Text Support
Affordability

"Copy quotes from the text that support/explain her point." (2+ quotes. Also write what paragraph the quote came from.)  Example: 
  • "Bottled water costs 2,000 times more than tap." (7)
  •  "Spend money improving water systems." (28)
  • "People are choosing to pocket...they would otherwise be wasting on bottled water. " (32)                                                                            
Summary: (Summarize the point she's making.)
Drinking tap water saves money because... it's free. If free tap water systems were improved more people would have access to free, healthy water.
Find at least 2 quotes from the text that support each point. Then summarize each of her four main points.
*Affordability:
*Health:
*Taste
**Environmental Issues


OK... Now let's write a one paragraph (6-7 sentences) summary.
Include: her purpose for writing, her main points*, the main problem she has with bottled water**, and what she thinks the benefits of drinking tap water are.

You must partner up, but each writes his/her own. Follow the template given. (not available online)
You can make notes on the template, but you will write your paragraph on a separate sheet to be graded. NDP, ink, etc.
Swap and proofread. Let me know when you are finished.
