... so the world has challenged you to write one poem a day during the month of April. If you'd like to join OCPoWriMo, e-mail your poem to me and I'll publish it. If you just like to read poetry, there are four years worth of poetry for your reading pleasure.
Due Now: Vocab? Nein! Due Now:"The Prince," by Niccolo Machiavelli, from 50 Essays, 1st Edition. Add it to your Bib. Due Now: Just War Essay Due Monday, 4/8: Vocab Ex
Write a paper that synthesizes classroom sources and your
own knowledge, experiences, and research to answer the question “Is there such
a thing as a just war?” Remember that definition is an important element of
argument. Remember that a synthesis paragraph begins with your own opinion/topic
sentence, which is supported by quotations from two different sources. Not all
of your body paragraphs need to be synthesis paragraphs.
Minimums:
1) Three
synthesis paragraphs.
2) Three sources from the classroom.
-“The Declaration of Independence,” by Thomas
Jefferson (from 50 Essays, 2nd
Edition)
-Octavian
Nothing, by M.T. Anderson (you can find the necessary bibliographical info
for your Works Cited on Wikipedia)
-“The Gettysburg Address,” by Abraham Lincoln
(from 50 Essays, 1st Edition)
-Henry V,
Part I, by William Shakespeare (http://www.bartleby.com/70/2931.html)
-“The Prince,” by Niccolo Machiavelli (from 50 Essays, 1st Edition)
-Johnny Got
His Gun, by Dalton Trumbo
3) Additional sources from your own research, including one
source from Gale. Be sure your
internet sources are reliable. You will need to work hard to establish these
sources. You may consider:
-Historical conflicts, large and small
-Contemporary conflicts, such as wars in Africa
and the Middle East
-Contemporary and classical literature
-Readings from Everything’s an Argument
-Modern films
-Popular songs
-Personal experience
-Something interesting that I haven’t thought of
yet
4) An element of visual rhetoric. This could be an editorial
cartoon or an image. Your image should be included in the body of the paper.
You should explain how this image helps you argue that there is or isn’t a just
war. Be sure to cite the source of your image.
5) Evidence against your thesis, soundly refuted by your
laser sharp logic.
6) A properly formatted Works Cited page. If your internet
sources aren’t from Gale, you’ll need
to include the link. For your convenience, I’ve googled “How to Cite a Song”
for you:
Songwriter's
last name, first name."Title
of Song."Lyrics.Title
of Album.Name of Publishing
Company, Year Recorded. Format.
De Sela, Lhasa."La Frontera."Lyrics.The Living Road.Netwerk, 2004.
CD.
If the song is being sung by someone other than the
songwriter, here is how that would look:
Dylan,
Bob."Like a Rolling
Stone."Lyrics. Perf. The
Drive-By Truckers.Highway 61 Revisited.Uncut/Ignite!, 2005. mp3.
