Final-Content Drafts (digital/all)

Each group will digitally turn in one document that includes the informational news article and all editorials. These will be shared with other groups in the coming week, and they will be scrutinizing the work of other groups for accuracy, bias, slanters, and the variety and credibility of the evidence used. This means each group must ensure this draft has all of the content of the writing present; while you will soon turn in one final version that attempts grammatical accuracy, there will be no further changes to the content allowed. Ensure that:

  • Overt bias is avoided (check pages 227-228 to review bias)

  • Slanters are not used (check pages 234-235 to review slanters)

  • A variety of evidence is used (check pages 251-252)



Goals are to develop effective editorial cartoons on a subject that thoughtfully uses analogy, parody, hyperbole or similar techniques to present an editorial position visually and to carefully revise news and editorial content to identify weaknesses in argumentation or to clarify understanding.

Exemplary Work will have no apparent grammatical or mechanical errors and will express perspectives without ambiguity.
