For this assignment, you will create a slide presentation. Using the Learning Resource Center, Concorde’s resource library- https://www.galepages.com/miss22358, and other academically appropriate sources, evaluating an argument and/or debate using a PowerPoint presentation.
Note: These presentations use fewer words than a paper, but they include visual aids and even voiceovers (if you chose). 
Objectives:
Evaluate both sides of a debate or argument using a PowerPoint medium. 
Instructions:
Think about an issue that has two sides (“arguments”). This can be anything from a somber subject like the death penalty, to something more placid such as whether or not dogs should be allowed on beaches during the Summer; as long as it is an issue with two sides that can be debated, it can be used as the foundation for this task. 
Create a seven to ten slide presentation where you:
Start with a Title page
Introduce your topic
Address BOTH sides of the issue
State the pros and cons of each stance 
Include citations 
Include a reference list on the final slide 
Include visuals that pair well with the content 
This presentation should be engaging and informative…have fun with it! 
Remember that Power Point is available, for free, through your office 365 Account.
Assignment Submission:
The use of outside resources is strongly recommended, and all papers must be cited and written in current APA format.

Prompt: You will be writing ONE poetry explication on a poem that you have never seen before. In order to prepare for this, make sure that you know all rhetorical and poetic devices we’ve discussed in class (Use the Poetry Quick Reference Guide that you downloaded at 15.04 Prereading Activity.). Be very cognizant of C-E-W structure, MLA formatting, in-text citations, spelling, and grammar.
Strive for compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. While your overall goal is to identify and discuss the language choices of the poet, don’t neglect your own-pay close attention to your inclusion of rhetoric, to the use of strong and specific verbs, to the conciseness of your words, and to the academic level of vocabulary.
Do the following:
1) Paraphrase it.
2) Explicate it.
Directions: Step One: The Paraphrase
• Create a two-column table. You will have the original poem with the title and author in the left column. In the right column, paraphrase the poem, keeping the perspective and tense, line by line.
Step Two: The Explication
• Write an essay that clearly explicates the poem. Explain the content/message/theme of the poem and discuss the effect of its rhetorical and poetic devices.
• The introduction will introduce the author and title of the work. Your thesis should state the central thematic statement of the poem and tie it to rhetoric/syntax.
• You will need to tackle one stanza at a time, dealing with every line in the poem. Include specific claims, integrated textual evidence, and thorough warrants. Evidence must be quoted and cited.
• Make sure to include the vocabulary, rhetorical devices, and purposeful grammar you have learned this year.
• The conclusion should not be a summary. Instead, end by focusing on the concluding lines of the poem to tie everything together, discussing a larger pattern of the poem, or incorporating research and relating it to your thoughts.
The directions, poem options, and rhetoric device examples are in the attachments if you follow all instructions I will give a big tip
