Your next essay is due at the beginning of June (see previous post for specific details). For the next essay you can:

2) write an essay that uses a thesis statement you find on Twitter (an arguable claim you can build a defense around) as the nucleus of your argumentation.
3) an argumentative essay with a well-defined thesis of your own choosing.

Essays are due on the following dates:
Tuesday classes: May 30th
Thursday classes: June 1st
Friday classes: June 2nd

Make sure your essay abides by the specifications outlined on the first post concerning essay submissions on this blog.
