This assignment is due on September 25th


In your textbook read pages 535 and 536 to reinforce the guidelines we discuss in class. The article is one that is controversial and requires you to express your point of view and then be able to defend your position on the subject.


Read the article on pages 536-538. While reading the story incorporate the strategies we have been working on in class such as:




  1. previewing: look at the title, boldfaced print, 1st and last paragraph before reading the article.


  2. concentration: were you able to utilize any of the strategies we have discussed? Which ones?


  3. critical thinking: analyzing material as you read it.


  4. looking for signal words to help you find the important points

In terms of this assignment, Michelle, you need to read the article that appears on page 536 to 538. After reading the article, that is when you have to respond to the questions. The question was "Do you think smokers in the U.S. are being discriminated against?" It was just a matter to be able to defend your position.
