7. Use your topic to form your
thesis statement (argument).
Using the topic you chose and
noted on padlet earlier, go to
your blog and write your thesis
statement (argument). Then, in
one paragraph, express why you
feel strongly about this topic.
Before 9pm tonight, leave 1
paragraph comment on one of
your classmate's blog with your
opinion (how you feel) about
their topic. Only one comment
per blog so everyone gets one
comment.

8. Tomorrow, we discuss!
