Three weeks left until finals. We're almost there!
I graded all the Social Justice proposals - you need to go on Turnitin and look at my comments at the top. Your grade will be determined by your adjustments in regards to those comments - definitely look at them today!
Please read everything below as we begin wrapping up our year...
I. Semester Two Final - Social Justice Project
This week, after looking at my comments on your proposal on Turnitin, you will begin/continue researching your issue. Remember, the directions and all handouts can be found on our class website under "Social Justice".
A. Research Document
This week, find your three sources and all the facts you plan to use from them for your presentation. Remember, you are finding facts on two things: the prevalence of the issue in modern day AND proof your proposed solution is possible.
