Application day!!
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?
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.
Pelican Bay- 60 Minutes Video (VIDEO DOESN'T WORK)
UPDATE... Depending on if your CB lets you watch the video, here are some alternatives:
Prisoners Enrolled in One of the Toughest Rehab Programs... VIDEO
OR
Punishment Fails. Rehabilitation Works- NY Times .... ARTICLE
OR
The Economic Impact of Rehabilitation.... ARTICLE

2. Second, you will read an article about Arizona's tent jail. NPR- Tent City Prisons. 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 backing on the extended paragraph structure- just write "backing" for now.
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 backing on the extended paragraph structure- just write "backing" for now.
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.
