We are going to put Steps 1-6 of Writing in to practice. You will be building a "paper" from the ground up. You will not be writing the full paper. We are just practicing the paper process up through the Extended Paragraph Structure from the following question:
- Should punishment or should rehabilitation be the main purpose of prison? Why?
1. First, we will be watching a 60 Minutes interview to get you thinking about your approach to your argument. You will want to take notes to help you have evidence for BOTH SIDES for Step 6 of Writing.

2. Second, you will read an article about Arizona's tent jail. Washington Post- Year spent in Tent Jail. Again, you will want to take notes for both sides of the argument to help you with evidence for Step 6.
3. You will then, knowing you are writing to a formal audience (Step 1), Brainstorm... Breakdown the topic.... Thesis.... Basic Paragraph Structure. . . Extended Paragraph Structure.
For your warrants on the extended paragraph structure- just bullet point your connection
For your transitions on the extended paragraph structure- just write "transition" for now.
For your warrants on the extended paragraph structure- just bullet point your connection
For your transitions on the extended paragraph structure- just write "transition" for now.
PLEASE NOTE:
For this exercise- REASON #1 and accompanying examples for your Basic Paragraph Structure/Extended Paragraph Structure will be your COUNTERCLAIM (opposite side or stance). So, if you are arguing for punishment... Reason 1 will address rehabilitation. If you are arguing for rehabilitation, reason 1 will address punishment.
You will turn in all 5 Steps of Writing (2-6). Steps 2-5 can be handwritten. Please type up your extended paragraph structure and print it off for class on Friday. Staple everything together.
