Today is Cake Wednesday, and I would rather get you paid than risk getting you sick, so hack this topic and write. If you have questions or need clarification, you can collaborate with friends (making sure of course that what you turn in is original and uniquely yours) or comment to this post. Use the journal as a pre-write. I look forward to reading your work! -dp
JOURNAL TOPIC:
What would you do if someone paid you $500 to write your next essay? What type of incentive would motivate you to do your best work? What if the essay prompt asked you to think about ways to help your friends manage conflict using four questions: Is it the truth? Will it build goodwill and better friendship? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it be beneficial to all concerned (will everyone get something positive out of it)? Think about a way that you can help friends have a good argument (the search for truth we've been talking about all year) that answers each of these questions.
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Write THIS ESSAY on paper and turn in your draft to Ms. Anderson at the end of the period.
