DUE MONDAY 4/23 Viewpoints

Read the handouts, chapters 1 and 2 (i.e. "Viewpoints 1 and 2").

In addition to posting this on your blog you should print it out and put it in your notebook. You should have a section in your notebook devoted to the upcoming censorship debate and this should be in there.

Assume that our next debate will have the resolution, "There should be limits to free speech."

1) For chapter 1, write three things based on the reading that supports the above resolution. This is the "pro" argument.

AND

2) For chapter 2, write three things based on the reading that goes against the above resolution. This is the "con" arguement.

AND

3) Write a paragraph where you state your opinion on the issue. It should include some evidence from the reading, but it does not have to follow each viewpoint to the letter. You can also include ideas and evidence from other sources or individuals.

Mr. Jana,

I accidentally left my folder and notebook which had the reading for this weekend's homework in Mr. Commerson's classroom afterschool, and I have no way of getting it before Monday. What should I do for the homework?

Olivia, try to find a short essay/article on the internet that is procensorship and one that is against censorship, and answer the same questions. If you don't find appropriate short essays then you will have to turn in your assignment late.
