Point, Counterpoint: World Literature Takes a Position
World Literature students did a great job researching and delving into a broad array of current events to develop their argument essays. The topics students selected reflect their interests in the world around them, and even prompted late-night discussions in the dorm where students from opposing sides of an issue tried hard to listen and recognize each other’s position. After selecting their topic, students researched their subject more thoroughly. They incorporated this research in their essays, citing their sources, and completing a Works Cited page. They learned to employ counterargument, including a concession and refutation or rebuttal as rhetorical devices to advance their position. World

showed
real
perseverance
and
determination to finish this project while also juggling nightly reading and writing assignments in their assigned text! They met multiple deadlines, edited their work carefully, and took pride in their finished product. They also learned to work in Pages and in Google Drawing when converting the text of their argument essay to a magazine format. I’m proud of their hard work and final products. I hope you enjoy their essays! Ms. Waterman
