Prompt One of the most important elements of the writing process is revising and editing. For this lesson, you will have a Writing Conference with a teacher to reflect on your writing, revise your ideas and organization, and edit for grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Schedule a time to meet with your teacher to review your Rough Draft. Contact your teacher today. Then, in the box below, type the date and time you will be meeting with your teacher. Note: When you open the Writing Conference Reflection in the next activity, you can either print this document to write on, or type directly onto the document. Remember to save all documents to upload when complete. See your teacher if you have any questions.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
