MODULE: Read this article by local attorney Seth Grossman (Somers Point) here. For Journal #5, apply the tenets of evaluating quality to Grossman's article as means to either agree or disagree with his argument. Individually this time.
WRITE: Read Michael Skube article...grab it here!
Formal Writing #2: Michael Skube provides his e-mail on the bottom of his scathing rebuke of today's college student. Write a letter to him either agreeing or disagreeing with his thesis. Either way, make sure you back up your claim with specific examples from either your own life, observations you have made or statistics you have researched. Do not spend too much time worrying about how you "cite" your source(s) (this will come later), but please "attribute" it/them. The best response will be e-mailed to Skube himself! Zoinks!chapter(s)/question(s) you chose.

Why don't you have your students evaluate the article I wrote AFTER the Gulf leak instead of the one I wrote BEFORE the leak? I admit that even I was surprised by the incompetence of the federal officials under President Obama who approved, licensed, and supervised this project. Your bias is showing.
