Thursday, February 21st & Friday, February 22nd -- We will be reading "Shop Like a Man" by Paco Underhill (Riverside Reader) and "Men vs. Women Over Walking at Night" (hand out) by Bob Levy.
We will be working on the 3rd Comparison & Contrast Essay. Please read the directions below.
Explore gender differences by writing a comparison about some simple common activity. Your essay may be written as a serious or humorous newspaper column. This column is to appeal to other teens your age (17-19 years old). Therefore, pick a gender comparison topic that will interest them. Think about some of the ideas we discussed in class. Do you see gender differences in the cars they drive, the on-line screen names they invent for themselves, the way they address e-mail or deal with text messages, the way they talk on a phone, the way they watch television, or the way they talk to waiters and behave in restaurants? This essay (worth 20 points) will be due Tuesday, February 26.
Reminder: We will meet in Computer Lab #438 on Monday -- You may use the computer time to finish the scholarship application, work on the Pass-it-Along scholarship essay, or work on the above writing activity.
