  1. To what is he responding? What’s the conversation that he’s joining? He clearly identifies the conversation he is joining: the realism/depth of characters on The Sopranos.

  2. To what are you responding? What is the conversation that you’re joining? • Despite claims that school uniforms create conformity, students feel freer to express themselves when they don’t have to worry about what they wear. • Even though some professors argue that online classes do not offer the same rigor and experience as traditional courses, the digital classroom allows working students to customize their course attendance to fit their schedule. • President Obama’s weak stand against Syria has been ridiculed as inviting Putin’s aggression in Crimea, but history shows that leaders consider specifics carefully and do not assume that the responses of a nation in one scenario will translate to all scenarios.

  3. Vocabulary is due today. • Essays will be due at the end of next week. • POINT OF ARGUMENT: related aspects of your topic on which the academic community and/or the general public disagree. For example: • what is the problem / whether there is a problem • what is the problem’s cause • what is the problem’s solution • As you begin writing, be sure that your essay includes POINTS OF ARGUMENT. • You may have already built this into your thesis when you identified the conversation you were joining. In this case, POINTS OF ARGUMENT should naturally appear in your essay’s body. • If not, though, you need to be sure that the body of your paper includes POINTS OF ARGUMENT. • You may need to do additional research to accurately report on POINTS OF ARGUMENT. • See the Time article that we read at the beginning of this unit, “The Superiority Complex” – note how the author reports on POINTS OF ARGUMENT in her synthesis.
