New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

4.2. Should Students Be Paid for Good Grades?

Here's an article for today's exercise:

“A Is for iPod . . . or Pizza . . . or Cash” from Upfront Magazine

1. Type a "Chain of Main Ideas" summary of the article (make sure you are saving these somewhere so you can cut and paste them in later.

2. Prewrite an essay for this writing prompt:

"The article reports different people's attitudes towards the idea of rewarding students for good grades with money or prizes. Arguments are presented, both for and against. Do you think that rewarding students with such enticements is a good idea? Write a logical essay that expresses your position. Make sure to use reasons, facts, and arguments to make your position as strong as possible."
