Create a blog to convince an audience to either support or oppose a proposal to require all students to wear uniforms in school.
Assignment Instructions
Step 1: Research your viewpoint.
a) Develop your viewpoint on the issue by thinking about what opinions or beliefs you hold about the
issue.
b) Use credible (dependable and trustworthy) sources of information. Reliable Internet sources
include government sites (.gov), education sites (.edu), organization sites (.org), and online
newspapers.
c) Take notes on facts and statistics related to your topic.
d) Be sure to keep a list of your references so that you can cite them later.
e) Ask your teacher where you should save your presentation as you work on it. Your teacher may
also have specific guidelines about the file name you should use.
Step 2: Develop your claim.
a) Make a claim about your topic. For example, here is a claim that a blogger might make about
homework: “Too much homework can cause kids to dislike schoolwork.”
b) Use your notes or do more research to gather reasons that support your viewpoint.
c) Explain the reasons with evidence, which may include facts, findings from research and studies,
statistics, personal stories, and quotations from experts.
d) Address counterclaims. Counterclaims are claims that oppose your point of view. An example of
a counterclaim about homework is “Homework reinforces skills that kids learned in class.”
e) Form a response, or rebuttal, to the counterclaim. One example of a rebuttal is “Homework is an
excellent way to reinforce skills learned in the classroom, but homework practice should be
limited to minutes, rather than hours. Otherwise, students may become burned out and unable to
process the information they are supposed to be learning.”
Step 3: Choose multimedia elements for your blog.
a) Review the purpose of your blog entry, which is to express a viewpoint about school uniforms.
b) Choose multimedia components (videos, images, audio, or links) that will support your goal. c) Evaluate the tone created by your multimedia elements. Make sure the elements match the tone
of your blog and are appropriate to your topic.
d) Add captions and explanations for multimedia to connect the elements with your claim.
Step 4: Plan how you would get readers to interact.
a) Post a quick quiz, invite readers to share their thoughts on a topic, or poll your readers on a topic.
Example: “How much homework do you get each night?” Poll Responses: “Too much, Too little,
Just the right amount”
b) Add a place to invite readers to post a comment below your entry.
c) Remind students of online etiquette rules: “Be specific. Don’t stray from the topic. Be nice. Check
writing for clarity. Think before you post.”
Step 5: Cite your sources.
a) List all sources that you used in your research in the Works Cited section of the template.
b) A simple list of website titles and addresses (URLs) is acceptable. If you used print sources, list
the title, author, publisher, city, and date.
Step 6: Evaluate your blog using the checklist.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "but if that is so," he said to himself, "and i am leaving this life with the consciousness that i have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then? " he lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. in the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. in them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. this consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. he groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. and he hated them on that account. he was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. he drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. his wife came to him and said: "jean, my dear, do this for me. it can't do any harm and often . healthy people often do it." he opened his eyes wide. "what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
