Afeni Shakur: Nature vs. Nurture
Today in class we shared thesis sentences and then spent the remainder of the time, writing. I walked around and gave comments when asked. I am looking specifically at organization in this essay: introduction, topic sentences, the conclusion and how well writers support their thesis.
I will also look at coherence, how well do the ideas connect one to the other and flow. Make certain that you introduce your speakers when citing. Give their credentials: journalist, scholar, writer, author, director, playwright, mother, friend, sister.
The essay should be about 750 words, one citation per page: block quote, free paraphrase, and a shorter citation. The essay should be more than 2/3s original writing.
If you have not gotten the revision to the hip hop essay back to me, it is due now.
Include the scholarly article in the bibliography. For Thursday, October 27, 2011, bring in a completed essay for a peer review, print it out or have it on your computer. The essay is due Friday via Internet: coasabirenglish1A@gmail.com
You can have until Monday, October 31, 2011, 12 noon.
Included should be the Intial Planning Sheet, outline, peer review (Microsoft Comment) or typed response per Questions for Discussing . . . all related Cyber-Assignments and comments.
Paste the document and attach it. Include the assignment in the subject line. I am not opposed to paper copies, but also email it.
Social Entrepreneur Essay
I will be posting the Social Entrepreneur Assignment here as well. There are handouts I will be giving you too.
Book Report Essay
We have run out of time, so this essay will be due with the portfolio, unless students have been reading their book over the past month. We can talk about this.

Con Argument of Afeni
Afeni was born during a time of civil revolution; on top of that she was also born into a cycle of hate. This higher power in life put strong women up against what seemed to be like an impossible world. During Afeni’s childhood, she encountered many struggles. Afeni had no choice in the matter of being put into an abusive family. Her father was abusive toward her mother. Her father’s behavior started from his father who Afeni remembers being very cruel. Afeni says, “ the more I learn about who my people came from, the more I can accept who they turned out to be”(22). Afeni’s early struggles during her childhood and her environment she grew up in determined her destiny.
