Classwork- Today in class, first, we went through the homework from yesterday. I am posting a link to both classes' answers about the background information.
We also talked about setting SMART goals and our motivation behind setting goals and went over the important elements of thesis statements as well. You can view the PowerPoint here.
1. Read pp. 102-104 in your textbook and complete Exercises 1 & 2.
2. Venn Diagram for the two economic systems you want to compare, including three (3) points of comparison or contrast. You can download the Venn Diagram here, or you may use the one in your packet.
Example:
3. A thesis statement (1 sentence!) that follow the rules of thesis statements (pg. 102-103 in your book), has a clear purpose (pg. 155), and has at least 3 points of comparison (sub topics).
Example:
Although command and traditional economic systems are different in how they function, they are actually similar in their treatment of individuality in their citizens in that motivation for progression is low, the opportunities given to individuals are little to none, and that citizens are already given set rolls in society.
Although command and traditional economic systems are different in how they function, they are actually similar in their treatment of individuality in their citizens in that 1) motivation for progression is low, 2) the opportunities given to individuals are little to none, and that 3) citizens are already given set rolls in society.
The underlined parts are the purpose, and the numbered italics are the 3 points of comparison.
