Hello Seniors,
Click on the links below to access the op-ed pieces that we covered in class. I snagged some papers from the university and have hard copies left over if any of you would like to use them or recycle them.
Remember to create an MLA works cited entry for the editorial you choose to read. Either you can read the piece on the value of Thoreau's documentation of blooming and flowering patterns, or you can read about sex-trafficking in America and what Stockholm Syndrome is. Both of these editorials reflect themes we see in Ship Breaker. I do not want to give away too much information, but one of the characters in the book might suffer from Stockholm Syndrome as a result of being thrust into an unrecognizable world.
1. Read one of the editorials.
2. Create a works cited entry. Yes, it can be hand-written.
Here's the format for a works cited entry:
"Title of Article." Editorial. New York Times 19 Apr. 2012, natl ed.: A27. Print.
3. Provide a context sentence.
4. Summarize the information, including at least two direct quotations.
5. Reflect on how the editorial can deepen your understanding of Ship Breaker.
